A small amount goes a long way — one 2 oz. bottle can produce up to two quarts of vibrant, ready-to-use dye. Colors can be blended freely to create custom tones while maintaining professional clarity that enhances, rather than hides, the natural grain.

These dyes can be used as standalone stain concentrates or added directly into CureUV gel fillers, sealers, and topcoats (waterborne or 100% solids). They are also compatible with shellac, water-based finishes, solvent lacquers, and catalyzed varnishes, allowing flexible integration into professional finishing workflows.

This product requires curing with a medium pressure mercury UV System producing at least 500 mW/cm2 of intensity. We recommend utilizing our Total-Cure1100s or the Total-Cure 2400 or a medium pressure mercury UV Curing Conveyor for optimal results.

TO USE AS A DYE STAIN:

Mix with tap or distilled water for an economical, non-flammable stain OR mix with alcohol for a fast-drying, non-grain raising stain. No waiting or straining is necessary because the dye is pre-dissolved.

Suggested mix ratio is 2 oz. dye per 1/2 gallon solvent (increase or decrease ratio to suit need). Dye solutions can be applied by brush, rag, spray, or sponge. When using a water-reduced dye, a pre-grain raising is advisable -- apply the dye with an abrasive pad like maroon Mirlon.

TO USE AS A FINISH TONER:

One of TransTint Dyes most unique features is their compatibility with CureUV's wide range of finishing mediums. Simply add the dye concentrate directly to our Gel filler, Sealers or Topcoats (both Waterborne and 100% solids). The dye concentrate can be added to shellac, water-base / Waterborne finishes, solvent lacquers, and catalyzed varnish or lacquers. Add any amount up to 1 oz. per quart. All 19 dye colors (10 wood tones & 9 accent colors) are intermixable to produce custom shades.

NOTE: When using any dye or colorant, we highly recommend testing your colors first on scraps or cut-offs along with your selected top coat before applying to your projects. TransTint Dyes are not for exterior use. Due to variances in color monitors, colors shown are approximations only.
