TransFast and TransTint dyes will not produce that effect. You need a powdered turquoise powder as mentioned above. When dyes are added to epoxy you don't get solid opaque colors. Even Yellow and Red...

Fuji has settled on a new seal which should solve the leaking issue. It's black or transparent colored. Earlier versions were white. If you have a white one order the 5 pack of replacement gaskets...
Use Mohawk Lacquer Aerosol in Burnt Umber or whatever they make that's close to that color. Once you build up to the color finish it with several coats of clear satin.
With a nitrocellulose based finish like Deft, the "softness" as compared to another NC lacquer is more than likely due to the way it's formulated. You can control the brittleness and flexibility by...
General Finishes can provide lead testing certification on just about any finishing product they make.

Vacuum sealing probably has little effect because oxygen isn't involved to a great extent in the degradation process. A constant cool temperature is your best weapon. In addition once the flakes go,...
Regardless of where you buy them, dewaxed shellac grades should always be refrigerated until use. What kills shellac flakes is the combination of heat+humidity. Temporary blocking (fusing together)...
I suspect your problem is the mineral spirits wipe between coats. This isn't a great solvent to use between coats, better to use Naphtha. Any small amount of MS left on the surfave (the open pores...
The burning you describe is more than likely the binder used in most off-the-shelf stains. I would try a water-soluble dye on a piece of wood (there is no binder used typically in a dye-stain) and...
NO - do NOT use Drano. Drano is Sodium Hydroxide with metal (I think aluminum) shavings so it bubbles/froths when in contact with water (helps to physically dislodge obstructions)
Red Devil Lye...
The Hydrogen Peroxide is 30%. I am not sure of the Sodium Hydroxide but I would guess a 5% solution by weight as a starting point.

A "whitewash" effect is done with products that have white pigment in them at a level that's low enough so it doesn't hide (like the levels in a paint), It's also an effect that's done on very light...
Klean-Strip makes the product (under removers and strippers)

I don't believe it can be shipped anymore as the A part is pretty strong sodium hydroxide.
1. The most economical way to go for you is an in-line water separator/extractor which will pull off the large amount of water droplets that occur in hot/humid conditions and that hose length. Most...
Not to pick any fights here but coalescing is the way waterbornes form a film, not the way they cure. A waterborne will either cure by evaporation of the solvent(s) or cross-linking which can be done...
Fortunately with walnut it’s pretty easy to color sapwood, because the heartwood doesn’t change color over time as drastically as other woods like cherry. I prefer water based dyes applied using a...
The standard nozzle set that's usually supplied with a turbine system, assuming you get just one nozzle setup is for clear finishes. To spray latex through 3 and 4 stage turbines you should use a...
Yes - dry shellac flakes go bad due to age/heat/humidity. While blocking (where the shellac flakes fuse together) may not be a problem, if they have been blocked for awhile they are no good. Failure...
In regards to the acrylic trim enamels (waterborne) just about every manufacturer I have talked to have said the thinning up to 10% is no problem. 2 oz water per quart is less than that. We usually...
Sanding sponges contain no stearates. Cracking/crazing is due to the finish drying too fast, applied too heavy or used under certain sealers (like shellac). High moisture content can also do it.

I hope you really didn't do this. These products aren't compatible if mixed together. Are you sure you mixed all three of these together?
The only time a fan helps a finish dry is a a waterbased finish applied in higher humidity to help drive the water out of the finish.
Otherwise it's a dicey proposition for the reason stated of...
From what I understand the smaller 3" chamber fits inside the larger diameter one so you reduce the amount of dye necessary. You only need one pump.
If you are using the Waterlox don't bother with the BLO. There's plenty of oil in the W/L.
We always used to call a wet-sanded oil finish a "slush-fill" because it didn't quite fill the grain all...
Bona or Ruby shellac will have more of a "red" color to it. Garnet is almost bronze in color and definitely doesn't have any orange/red to it.
I question your use of shellac as a grain filler....
