TransTint Dyes – Dark Walnut, 2 oz | Professional Wood Finish Dye

Discover TransTint Dark Walnut Dye

TransTint Dark Walnut dye from TransTint offers a rich, warm brown that enhances natural wood grain with clarity. This highly concentrated liquid dye is designed for precise color control, so a little goes a long way. A single 2 oz bottle yields roughly 2 quarts of dye-stain, making it economical for projects big and small alike.

Whether you’re staining, toning, or shading, this dye can be mixed with water for a traditional stain or with alcohol for a fast-drying, non-grain-raising finish. It also blends seamlessly into water- or solvent-based finishes, including shellac, catalyzed lacquer, varnish, and polyurethane, giving you a broad palette for touch-ups or customized finishes. Not intended for exterior use.

Key advantages at a glance

• Precision color with minimal product: a few drops provide deep, controlled tone.
• Broad finish compatibility: mixes with water, alcohol, shellac, lacquer, and many topcoats.
• Grain enhancement, not muddiness: delivers a transparent color that highlights natural textures.
• Consistent results and easy blending: fully dissolved formula simplifies matching or dialing in tones.
• Trusted by professionals: widely used for furniture, cabinetry, guitars, and fine woodworking where repeatable color matters.

The Dark Walnut shade is designed to be versatile across projects, from heritage furniture restorations to modern cabinetry. Use it to deepen tone, even out color differences, or create subtle gradations that mimic natural aging. When used thoughtfully, the dye offers a way to explore depth and warmth without sacrificing the wood’s inherent character.

Practical uses and tips

• Mix with water-based finishes to achieve translucent, even color that respects grain patterns.
• Blend into shellac or varnish to create a custom toner for repairs or refinishing work.
• Dilute with your preferred solvent or topcoat to dial in shade intensity for matching existing work.
• Ideal for restoration projects, cabinetry touch-ups, and fine woodworking where controlled color is important.

Tip: Start with a small amount and test on a scrap or inconspicuous area to gauge depth before applying to the main piece.
