We have been doing some clean-up at work recently and my boss came across a bunch of different dyes that he had that we wouldnt be using anymore. He gave me about a dozen different powders, some of the Stewmac stuff, LMI stuff and some other brand (Woodcraft sells it, I forget the name). Anyway, I figured I would have a go practicing with them. My question is, as I recieved both water soluable stuff and alchohol soluable, which type do you all prefer? What do you like to mix the alchohol soluable dyes with? I realize that the water based dyes will rais the grain, but are there any other pros and cons you all have come across?
