1) Submitted by Adrian, from El Paso, TX on 1/1/2009 Customer Rating: This dye works very good. Used it on my custom joystick box. I just stained it darker to my liking but a very light turquoise blue looks great. I still have plenty left for more boxes. Overall great product and it will make my joystick look very original.

2) Submitted by Kevin McGovern, from Shreveport, LA on 11/18/2008 Customer Rating: I was raised on Minwax products, and thought water-based stains were worthless... WRONG! The things you can do with this stuff are unimaginable--until your first project. I build custom drums, and find you can do nearly any kind of fade or finish with these stains. If you spill the powder and vacuum it before water touches it, you get clean quick! It stains the daylights out of wood and natural-fiber fabrics, yet doesn't really mess up much else. My first project was a lemon yellow snare drum, and the dye gave a bright, vivid color beyond what I've seen with anything else. Easy to use, clean up, store and great performance. Buy with confidence!

3) Submitted by T. Thiesse from VA on 1/19/2009 Customer Rating: I have used several water based dyes for projects with great success, but my old supplier went out of business. These dyes are vastly inferior to my last manufacturer. They must be mixed much stronger than the directions and they still leave an inconsistent color on the wood. I completed this current project with a diferent product.

4) Submitted by Joe Kramer, from Elkridge, MD on 5/1/2009 Customer Rating: I'd never used a wood dye before. These seemed to work well but I had a dickens of a time with bleed through. When dissolved in water, I kept getting the orginal color of the wood to bleeding through in the open grain areas. I used several coats in water but the problem persisted. I solved the problem by adding some of the dye to some polyacrylic. Worked nicely after that. Color was good and quite intense but it took about 3 coats in water and one in the polyacylic. I'd use again. I used 1/8th of a teaspoon in 1/2 cup of water or polyacrylic. I would use again if I needed but admit. I don't do a lot of wood coloring.

5) Submitted by Bill Porada, from Thousand Oaks, CA on 9/16/2008 Customer Rating: I built this curly maple jewel box and dyed it with your "Burnt Sienna" dye. I had to mix it a bit more concentrated than what the directions recommended but I finally got the color I wanted. It turned out better than I thought. Note, I also used your barrel hinges and full mortise lockset. I like the way the project turned out. (click to see full-size picture in new window)
