Homestead TransFast Dye Powder, Accent Color, Blue

Pops the grain on figured wood (curly maple in my case), easy to achieve desired color, cleanup is simple. I was shocked to see how vibrant the color was even after just a single coat (wood was sanded with 220 at time of application). I was using a mix ratio of one ounce dye to one quart [32 oz] hot [nearly boiling] distilled water. of course that can be adjusted for smaller applications but I was preparing for a large drum set build so that's what led me to that large of a mix. Honestly, I was hesitant at first to try this powder dye being that i've almost exclusively used liquid dye concentrates for my projects but I was certainly happy with the results achieved after a few test runs on scrap wood I have accumulated. Cleanup, being that this is a water-soluble dye and not solvent-soluble, is a cinch. All I needed to clean up some spots was water (obviously) and a t-shirt cut-off. Just remember this is a dye not a stain so it does penetrate the wood not just sit on the surface.I WOULD gladly RECOMMEND this to anyone that is looking for a very vibrant blue and doesn't mind a little bit of science and math to mix to desired ratio. VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER!

This Dye was easy to mix and use. Great color penetration and when dried takes a finish without rubbing off. Mix a little for a light tint or more for a darker tint!

This dye has stayed a gorgeous cobalt even with multiple coats. It’s incredibly easy to use.

Works wonderfully as directed.Useless for Cactus Juice and stabilization. I made a completely saturated mix (8oz juice and 8tsp powder) and agitated it for 48hrs with a rock tumbler. Tried to use it on Lombardi poplar (which is silver white) and got only the lightest tint in some areas. I had the same results with turquoise black and navy.It's a wonderful product...just not appropriate for my experiment.

Use for dying rocks

I saw a guy working with this item on YouTube and, it was as goo as I expected deep and nice color
