    Go look at the kitchen pictures in my gallery, job had ~6000 sq ft of alder... TransTint dye is the way to go on alder it will blotch with reg. stain. Spraying is the best way to ensure an even color and NO wiping needed. I use alcohol but water will work too with TransTint dyes.

    EDIT: Gallery is gone; I guess my contributor status expired, stay tuned...

    Finishing is an 'Art & a Science'. Actually, it is a process. You must understand the properties and tendencies of the finish you are using. You must know the proper steps and techniques, then you must execute them properly.
