Review: Good product, but shipping charges are excessive - Great basic dyes. They are not pre-mixed, but mix well with water, denatured alcohol and oils (tung, Danish, etc.). I mix almost exclusively with Behktol denatured alcohol (alcohol doesn't raise the grain as much as, and gives greater grain resolution than, water) and apply the stain prior to using the oil as you have less control over color reversal once the oil is applied . I use TransTint interchangeably with Mixol depending on the color I'm trying to achieve (I occasionally mix the two together). The TransTint dyes are more economical, but the Mixol tints offer greater color variety.. Both work well. I'm not a chemist, so I can't speak to the specific TransTint formulation, other than it is not a pigment-based product and has no binders (same as with Mixol) and is not a pure aniline dye made from coal tar so it is not as hazardous as true anilines. I have found that the open time (after mixing with denatured alcohol) is easily measured in months. If I experience evaporation, I just add Behlen's thinner and I'm good to go. The shelf life of the opened bottle of concentrate is considerable - many months. When I mix up a desirable color, I store it in Ball Jar Crystal Jelly Jars with Lids and Bands, Quilted, 4-Ounce, Set of 12 for $10@desertcart which provides a tight seal. I keep the stains this way for months. When mixing I always add a small amount of Behlen's extender (maybe a 1-50 ratio). Since I apply with brushes, the extender keep the dye from drying too fast and making streaks. A short introduction to dyes may be found in Jeff Jewitt's Taunton guide to Finishing. One thing I don't like about TransTint on desertcart is the hefty shipping charges and the widely varying prices depending on color.
Review: What the pros use - The best method for wood coloring. It's super concentrated so only a couple drops is sufficient to dye most DIY projects. Store bought off yhe shelf stain is for armatures. Once you realize the possibilities of transtint, you'll never buy a can of stain again

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best for walnut.
*by K***G on 4 August 2020*

Nothing brings out the beauty of walnut like orange dye, that's right, orange. Mixed with denatured alcohol and some water to slow down the evaporation, Trans tint orange makes walnut pop like nothing I've used before. I can gladly recommend it for staining, or in this case dying walnut, spectacular! As always, I spend my own hard earned money on the products I use and review.
