We are pleased to offer our own line of dyes, TRANSFAST Wood Dye Powders (sometimes generically referred to as “aniline” dyes).

Unlike many catalogs, we do not buy bulk pre-mixed colors and repackage them. These dyes are mixed by us to our own specifications from the finest raw materials we can purchase. These are top quality dyes!! NOTE: Our dyes are very concentrated and make approximately double the amount of dye solution compared to other dye brands. All colors are compatible with each other (within their own solvent group). Each color produces many different intensities depending on the concentration.

Dyes differ from pigmented stains (like Minwax) primarily in how they color the wood. Dye stains are colored solutions and the coloring particles are extremely small. They penetrate deep into the wood and color the wood fibers from within - unlike pigmented stains which leave pigment particles on the surface of the wood. For that reason, dyes are transparent, meaning they let light into the wood and do not obscure natural wood figure and overall character.

Individual dye colors are packaged in a polyethylene jar.

NOTE Dyes are not for exterior use. While our dyes are among the most fade resistant dyes available, fading may occur over time in interior situations where they're exposed to a strong source of UV light. In these situations, pigment stains may be a better colorant.

TRANSFAST Water-Soluble Dyes

Deep penetrating, these dyes can be used under any finish. Because they raise the grain when applied, a pre-conditioning grain raising is advisable. Apply dyes by brush, rag, sponge or spray. One ounce dye powder yields about 2 quarts dye solution.

4 oz. and 8 oz. dry weight sizes.

TRANSFAST Alcohol-Soluble Dyes

Note: TransFast Alcohol powdered dyes are being phased out. Limited to stock on hand. Available in 2 oz or 8 oz. net volume fill size. For a current list of dyes on hand and pricing, click here.

Our alcohol-soluble colors are formulated from metal-complex dye groups and produce clean, crisp colors that do not raise the wood grain. Do not compare these with most other alcohol dyes sold. Our tests prove that these dyes are equal and sometimes superior in lightfastness to the water-soluble dyes above. These alcohol dyes can be dissolved in BEKHOL (ethanol), but the best results are with SOLAR-LUX REDUCER. Eight ounces dye (by volume, not weight) yields 6-8 quarts dye solution.
