Homestead's TransTint®
Dyes are a solution of metal-complex dyes in
a special solvent that offers the finisher many unique options in
applying the colors. Sizes available (plastic
bottles) - 2 fl. oz., 8 fl. oz., 16 fl. oz., 32 fl. oz.
"TransTint Dyes are
superior...and the colors are gorgeous."
Chris Minick -- Fine Woodworking Magazine
TO USE AS A DYE
STAIN
Mix with tap
or distilled water for an economical, non-flammable stain.
OR mix with alcohol for a fast-drying, non-grain raising stain.
No waiting or straining is necessary because the dye is pre-dissolved.
Suggested mix ratio is 2 oz. dye per 1/2 gallon solvent (increase or decrease
ratio to suit need). Dye solutions
can be applied by brush, rag, spray, or sponge.
When using a water-reduced dye, a pre-grain raising is advisable -- apply
the dye with an abrasive pad like maroon Mirlon.
TO
USE AS A FINISH TONER One
of TransTint Dyes most unique features is their 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.
All 19 dye colors (10 wood tones & 9 accent colors) are intermixable to
produce custom shades.
NOTE: 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.
