Question 1

is there a color chart available that will show what colors to mix to get another color

Accepted Answer

There are several videos on YouTube under Keda Wood Dye, but honestly the colors mix like basic color mixing. Red + Blue = Purple, Blue + Yellow = Green, Red + Yellow = Orange etc

Question 2

What type of alcohol should be used and how do you safely heat it for mixing?

Accepted Answer

Rubbing alcohol works great, and helps slow the drying process just a enough so that there is not an instant flash off, allowing for a little better control as an alcohol wood dye. The isopropyl alcohol based Wood Dye formula will dry faster than a water based wood dye formula will, but not as fast as a denatured alcohol dye will. Warming the dye stain solution only is applied to the water based version of the dye stain, never to the alcohol based dye stain.

Otherwise, if you are looking for wood Dye that mixes with a wide array of reagents like lacquer thinner, alcohols, acetone, keytones, water, and many more, you may want to check out our liquid wood dye listing. The wood dye powders excel with rubbing alcohol and water, whereas the wood dye liquids excel as a solvent based wood dye. Thank you so much for your interest, we really are grateful.

Question 3

Can this be mixed into a water based urethane and used  like the minwax polystains?

Accepted Answer

I didn't have any luck at all with this product. Followed instructions for water, when that didn't work tried mixing with alcohol per instructions. Colored both liquids nice but none would penetrate wood. Tried three different colors. Maybe I just got a bad batch. Ended up using artisan premixed and it worked really nice for me

Question 4

Can these dyes be dissolved in lacquer thinner and added to clear conversion varnish to be sprayed?

Accepted Answer

Hi,
Actually, the Keda liquid dyes will be the much better option for lacquer thinner. The Blue dye powder will probably work with the lacquer thinner, but the dye powders really are meant to be a much more eco friendly, No VOC wood stain option.  The Keda Liquid Dyes are specifically made for mixing with reagents like lacquer thinner, denatured alcohol, acetone, etc., and do in fact mix amazingly well in lacquer thinner. There are individual dye colors available with the Keda liquid dyes on Amazon, as well as being offered in the traditional Keda Dye fashion, where there is a very high quality five color liquid dye kit on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J2NO2OA The liquid dyes really would be the best option for that, and the liquid dyes will even mix directly into the solvent lacquer even without the thinner. The Keda powder dyes work better with rubbing alcohol, simple warm water, or could even be used as a water based dye lacquer tint. The Keda powder dyes excel when mixed into low VOC wood sealers. Hope that helps? Have a great weekend!
