I wanted to buy purple and black for my next guitar with a spalted top. but these Transfast 1 oz. powders don't exist anymore. -J.B. Jewitt Co., Inc. got rid of these affordable powders. You now need to buy the liquid kind, Transtint for over 4 times as much for only 2 oz.; most of that is the liquids weight. I bought medium green, gray, and turquoise blue for my first bass guitar project at 6 dollars each. Only used a pinch of each through distilled water, before a tung oil finish. Color was exactly what I wanted, pale green-ish faded/dull color. Slight yellowing after tung oil. I guess all my guitars will be some form of blue/greens or antique barn door grays now.
Curious as to how well these colors would standup if I were to use a tabletop epoxy as the clear coat for an outdoor piece (on the side of a teardrop camper) made of sapele.
I hope you can help. I bought some powdered dye. They said to dissolve in wood alcohol or denatured alcohol. I used the later. I put 2 oz. of da in a container, and have been adding small amounts of dye. After 3 times of adding dye, it is getting darker when I apply it to the wood, but nothing Like I think it should be. It is a brilliant color in the container. Also I see that the dye separates when sitting. Other people think I should try to mix it with water. So far all I have used has been stains, alcohol base. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Would factory made furniture from twenty years ago have used dyes instead of stains?
