This 2 oz. liquid concentrate yields up to 2 quarts of stain, offering deep, vibrant color that enhances wood grain without raising it. Compatible with a wide range of finishes including shellac, lacquer, and polyurethane, it delivers fast drying and customizable tones for professional-grade wood finishing—perfect for millennial makers who demand both quality and creative control. ## Description Developed by renowned restorer and finisher Jeff Jewitt, the TransTint line of dyes is more versatile than any we’ve ever seen! TransTint dyes, like this dark walnut, can be mixed with water for stain or with alcohol for a fast drying, non-grain raising stain. For use as a toner or shader, dyes can be added directly to water-based finishes and solvents to create a perfect match for touch-ups or a unique, customized finish. A 2 oz. bottle yields about 2 quarts of dye-stain. Can even be added to: shellac, catalyzed lacquer and varnish, water-based lacquer and polyurethane finishes. Not for exterior use. Review: Great coloring agent! - Works well. I use this on cherry to bring out the grain with a deep hint of red. Looks so much better than the usual coat of stain. The dye is absorbed into the wood so the color is deeper. I was first taught about using dye by a master cabinet maker 50 years ago. Applies easily, be cautious about the fumes of the alcohol used as the carrier. Dries quickly. Review: Great dye! A little overpriced - I used the purple dye on a 335 guitar kit that I bought from Leo Jaymz (also on desertcart). It's very easy to use and it has a really nice color, but the little red cap that sits on top of the white lid was cracked. It was sealed and there was a rubber band around it to keep it all together, but it might leak if I doubt keep the cap and rubber band on, and keep it in the bag. Worked fine on a maple veneer. There are some before and after pictures on here. It isnt finished yet. I just sanded it it with 400, wiped a coat on, waited an hour, and put another coat on. I mixed it with water, so im going to let it sit for about 2 days to completely dry before I finish it with Tru-Oil. I would recommend wearing gloves because it stains skin and nothing helps it come off. It also recommend using those lint free blue shop towels because the absorb a lot, so it doesn't puddle up, and they don't tear up and leave lint as easily as rags or paper towels. I made some extra dye just in case, and used less than half of the bottle for the entire body and neck. I feel like it's a bit over priced for the amount you get, but it's great quality. ## Features - Dyes can be mixed with water - Not for exterior use, 2 oz. bottle yields about 2 quarts of dye-stain - Mix with alcohol for a fast drying, non-grain raising stain - Dyes can be added directly to water-based finishes and solvents ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001DSZ6D4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #8,304 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #25 in Household Stains | | Brand Name | TransTint | | Color | Dark Walnut | | Compatible Material | Wood | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,047) | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Weight | 0.02 Pounds | | Manufacturer | TransTint | | Manufacturer Part Number | 6005 | | Model Number | 4336921969 | | Number of Items | 1 | | UPC | 653341440525 | | Unit Count | 2 Fluid Ounces | ## Product Details - **Brand:** TransTint - **Color:** Dark Walnut - **Compatible Material:** Wood - **Item Form:** Liquid - **Item Weight:** 0.02 Pounds ## Images ![Transtint Dyes, Dark Walnut - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61zUPOpS0BL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I just purchased dark walnut for a strat body and dark vintage maple for the maple neck. how much dye and water/alcohol should be used for each part?** A: These are very concentrated and strong. I usually take a bunch of empty jars and put about half cup of denatured alcohol into each and do a variety of concentrations and then test on scrap wood. it may take only a 1/4 teaspoon of dye to get the desired depth. Take note of every teaspoon and drops you use so you can repeat if necessary. **Q: Can I use this to even out color over wood that I oil stained and looks blotchy?** A: It is an extremely dense dye and it will darken the light and dark areas, so you must be careful. You may have problems due to the oil stain as this works best as an alcohol or water dye. **Q: I need to darken tile grout. Can I mix this in a water based tile sealer?** A: It is a water base friendly product but I have never tried that. I think it would work but try it in a small portion of your material to see first! Use small portions meaning "drops." **Q: Can I tint linseed oil with this?** A: You might go to the website for clearer direction. I used denatured alcohol on pine wood then went back and used a urathane sealer I would think the linseed oil would tint ok but you would need to mix in throughout ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great coloring agent! *by J***H on May 6, 2025* Works well.
