Add some white to it and mix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skibum5545 Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Judging by their color chart, rose pink should be exactly what you're looking for, color wise. Seems like relatively standard dye, too, so you shouldn't have any out of the ordinary application problems either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Woodcraft sells these oil based dyes. That's more pink than I'd ever need. Or want, I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGGR Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Those are oil based, right?! Wonder how different application of those are compaired to the water based. As water and wood interact so well.... my gut feel says that water based stains penetrate deeper in the wood.... creating more of a 3D effect when layering. Could be wrong though......

RGGR Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Woodcraft doesn't seem to sell these products anymore.... Just when I have the hots for similar project.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
