DocBlake Posted November 2, 2016 #31 Posted November 2, 2016 Chuck: I've used Trans-Tint in the past. It generally works well. The only drawbacks are : 1) It is water or alcohol soluble, so application on wood can raise the grain, especially with soft woods like pine or basswood. 2) It's a concentrate, so you add a drop at a time until you get the shade you wand. That makes it impossible to exactly duplicate a batch after you use it up (varying size of each drop, etc.) so mix up enough beforehand to finish the job!
