Aniline Dye Source

[Van Huskey]

Thought I would report on the use of Lockwood Dyes. The company is excellent and their response time is great. They have good knowledge of the product and their quantity prices are as good as I could fine. The use of these dyes is the way to go. Color is very easily obtained with a little practice. Dyes are especially good on hardwoods that have tendency to blotch. Tinting finish coating is very easy. I recommend spray equipment to apply both dye and topcoats.

Thanks for reporting back! Sounds like a great source for a great product.

Joe, Lockwood's Ebony Black is a good way to turn even the lightest woods jet black. A pigmented stain over top isn't necessary, but can come in handy with very open pored woods like oak and ash whose deep grains repel water, or when you wish to mute the grain a bit.
