Problem With Stain/dye

[christhegreat]

Hi. I got this product: Waxine products

You'll tell me it's in french. On the bottle of red and black stain/dye,

it's all french. The problem is that in french dye and stain both mean

the same word. In the woodworking store I was, the salesperson

didn't know the difference.

So I'd like to know if what I have is a stain or a dye.

I'll translate the info to help you out.

They say it is alcohol-based, with transparent pigments.

Colors can be blended together or diluted with methanol.

On the bottle they say it's made from:

Acetone, Diéthylène, glycol, monométhyl and methanol.

It would be great to know if the product I have is a stain or a dye

to use it as a reference for future uses.

thanks a lot.

If it's alcohol based, it's most likely a dye. If that's correct, you should be able to use it directly on wood or mixed with clear. I've never used a stain that wasn't water based before.
