TransTint Reviews

Discover why woodworkers, luthiers, and finishers across the country trust TransTint to bring their projects to life — here’s what real professionals are saying about their experience with our dyes.

I've been building custom furniture for over 15 years, and finishing has always been the trickiest part to get just right. I tried powdered dyes and oil-based stains in the past, but they either faded too quickly, were too opaque, or were a pain to mix consistently across large surfaces. Then I came across TransTint while researching better options for a walnut credenza commission. I picked up TransTint Dark Walnut, mixed it with alcohol, and immediately saw a difference in how it absorbed into the wood — no streaking, no blotching, just smooth, even saturation that brought the grain alive with a rich, warm depth. I followed it up with a shellac seal coat, and then used the same dye as a toner in the topcoat to tie the entire finish together. The way the dye behaves both as a stain and a toner is unmatched — it gives me a level of control I simply haven’t found with anything else. Since then, I’ve used Golden Brown, Honey Amber, and Medium Brown, often combining them to create custom tones that match the precise aesthetic my clients are looking for. One client requested a weathered-oak tone on white oak, and I achieved it by mixing Golden Brown with just a few drops of Black — perfect match. Another thing I appreciate is how TransTint dyes are pre-dissolved — I don’t have to strain or wait, which saves me a ton of time on tight deadlines. I also love how consistent the results are from bottle to bottle — no surprises or reformulations to worry about. I’ve started using it on almost all my furniture projects, from dining tables and armoires to accent pieces, and the feedback from clients has been overwhelmingly positive. TransTint isn’t just a dye — it’s become a creative tool that gives me total freedom with color.

I’ve been building guitars professionally for nearly a decade, and one of the biggest differentiators for boutique builders like me is finish quality. My customers aren’t just paying for great tone — they want visual artistry. I began experimenting with dyes early on, but most brands gave me lackluster results on figured woods like curly maple or flame tops. Then I tried TransTint Purple on a double-cut body and was stunned at how the dye highlighted the wood’s figure without obscuring it. The color was absolutely electric — deep, saturated, and complex, but still transparent enough to let the maple’s chatoyance glow through. Since then, I’ve incorporated Bordeaux and Amber into my palette, often layering them for multi-dimensional bursts and fades. For example, I recently built a semi-hollow guitar with a Bordeaux to Black burst, using alcohol-diluted TransTint for the base layer and then adding more dye into my finish coats. The transition was seamless, and the depth was unlike anything I’d been able to achieve before. I also love that the dye doesn’t bleed or lift when I apply sealers or topcoats — something I’ve battled with in the past. Because of the glycol ether carrier, it stays put, and I don’t have to redo work because of shifting pigments. Another bonus is how economical the dyes are. A 2 oz bottle lasts for several builds, especially since a little goes such a long way. And the intermixability gives me total creative freedom — I’m not limited to “stock” colors anymore. I’ve even created a proprietary emerald green blend by mixing just the right ratios of Yellow, Blue, and Black — something I couldn’t do with premixed stains. Simply put, TransTint allows me to finish guitars the way I envision them — with control, vibrancy, and lasting beauty.

Luthier

My firm focuses on high-end residential interiors, where even the smallest detail matters — including the finish. We’ve done libraries with hand-carved trim, wall paneling in quartersawn oak, and kitchens with exotic hardwood cabinetry, and our clients expect precision. I first discovered TransTint a few years ago on a project that required matching aged mahogany millwork throughout a historic brownstone. I used Medium Brown with just a touch of Black to dull it down, and the result was a perfect aged patina that looked authentic and elegant. What really impressed me was how the dye allowed me to get subtle shifts in tone without losing clarity or obscuring the grain pattern. Since then, TransTint has become our go-to coloring system. Whether I’m staining with water for large surface areas, using alcohol for smaller or more detailed work, or tinting a finish to adjust color on the fly, these dyes always deliver. I’ve used Golden Brown and Dark Vintage Maple to restore antique built-ins, and even used Black to tone down overly orange cherry when a client wanted a more modern look. The dyes are VOC-compliant when used within guidelines, which is a must for us given local environmental regulations and green building standards. We’ve also integrated TransTint into our spray booth process. I’ll often add it directly into pre-cat lacquer or waterborne clear coats to build depth gradually without muddying the color. There’s zero clumping or pigment settling, and the tone stays even throughout application. On top of that, the customer support is stellar. Any time I’ve had a question about mixing or compatibility with a specific finish system, the team has been responsive and knowledgeable. Simply put, TransTint gives us the versatility, reliability, and performance we need in a professional setting. I trust it on million-dollar builds — and that says everything.
