Has anyone tried this with good success? I assume there should be no bonding problems. I need some dye quickly, and the daughter just gave me her old paints. Some are dried, but I haven't checked the colors that I need yet.
I don't normally do much wood color changing. I tried a couple of times to catch Homestead "at home" and left a message but no returned call. I guess retail sales are not a serious part of Jeff's business. I really would like to try the TransTints, but doing little dying they are kind of overkill for what I need anyway.
I need to match some orangish birch somewhat to a couple of other pieces on a gunstock that are walnut. Several of the multi-piece military stocks are mismatched wood but I don't often get them for refinishing. If I can get the color close, I will just seal it with shellac (blonde or colored) and use rubbed out varnish top coats. The piece will see more use/abuse.
