TransTints are highly concentrated, metal-complex liquid dyes used in woodworking and finishing to color wood. They can also be used to tone and tint clear finishes such as shellac, lacquer, and water-based polyurethane. Simply mix with water or with alcohol for deep penetration. All TransTint dyes are intermixable with each other, so custom colors can be easily created.

These dyes are more lightfast when compared to conventional aniline powdered type dye stains. This unique concentrated formulation allows the user great latitude in using the dye because it is compatible with such a wide variety of finishing products. No waiting or straining is necessary because the dye compound is pre-dissolved!

Please note that the Transtint bottle style may vary.

Instructions for Use
Basic - Detailed - Extensive

Stain and Finishing Options

  1. Water-Based Dye Stain: Mix with tap or distilled water for an economical, non-flammable stain.
  2. Non-Grain Raising Dye Stain: Mix with alcohol for a fast-drying, non-grain raising stain.
  3. Hybrid Dye Stain: Mix with a 50/50 solution of water and alcohol for a user-friendly wipe-on stain.

More Information

  • Suggested mix ratio is 2 oz. dye per 1/2 gallon solvent, but this ratio can be increased or decreased to adjust the color and saturation as needed.
    _
  • Dye solution can be applied by brush, rag, spray, or sponge. When using a water-reduced dye, a pre-grain raising is advisable.
    _
  • One of TransTint's outstanding features is its compatibility with a wide range of finishing mediums. Simply add the dye concentrate directly to shellac, water-base finishes, solvent lacquers, and catalyzed varnish or lacquers. Add any amount up to 1 oz. per quart.

When using any dye or colorant, we highly recommend testing your colors first on scraps or cut-offs along with your selected top coat before applying to your projects. TransTint Dyes are not for exterior use and can not be mixed with oil-based products.

Please note that this item is non-returnable.


Pricing Information
We are required by the manufacturer to display a minimum price of $22 per bottle. However, our actual price will be shown when this item is added to your cart.

    I have been using Transtints for a while now, and I have looked high and low for the best price. Veneersupplies.com prices and customer service are hands-down the best deal anywhere. I highly recommend anyone using Transtint products to go straight to Veneersupplies.com.

    I was looking for some Transtint dyes for staining my guitar kit projects. I searched the net extensively and found VeneerSupplies.com. The price was great, approximately 40% less than the large box supplier. I'm generally weary about ordering from sites not associated with larger on-line retailers, but thought I would give Veneer Supplies a try. The experience was great. The communication was excellent and my goods arrived in a timely fashion. My thanks to Joe and the staff at VeneerSupplies.com for their excellent service and a great on-line ordering experience.

    Heard about Transtints at the Maryland Gourd festival
    last spring. I now uses Transtint to color about 80
    percent of our gourd art! The orange is great for Halloween projects.

    Outstanding product. I decided to use TransTint to dye my quilted maple bass guitar. I chose TransTint for its alleged ease of use and compatibility with other finishes. It does not disappoint in these or any other regards. Great results the first time. Great price on this from this site and I received it in one day! Highly recommended!!
