I am considering doing some experimenting with Transtint dyes before I have to finish my current project (cherry). I was thinking about adding dye to shellac to see what kinds of effects I could get. Maybe other experiments, too. Problem is the cost of the bottles on sale on line is $16.40 each.

Developed by renowned restorer and finisher Jeff Jewitt, the TransTint line of dyes is more versatile than any weve ever seen! TransTint dyes, like this black, can be mixed with water for an economical, nonflammable 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.
