Homestead TransFast Dye Powder, Extra Dark Walnut

I used this on some 100 year old stairs that are so worn down I could not sand much after scraping decades of paint. I did not want to tear out the stairs but was looking for a different way to stain the stairs. I thought the Homestead would make a great alternative to regular stains and it has definitely worked as hoped. the dye penetrated the old wood and has lasted about one year without need for further staining. The walnut is very dark but has hid many of the old imperfections and there were no fumes coming out after application. I think this is a great option for old wood, esp stairs. I've tried it on a few other things like toddler chairs and no smells, quick drying and beautiful colors are the outcome. I highly recommend this versus other stains.

Something was clearly wrong with mine- it mixed green on the pallet- it dried brighter green on the furniture. I returned it with no help or response as to why it did this. 3rd party bull you have to pay return shipping on a defective item. Slow, painful refund-still waiting. I’ll not buy from here again-

I bought two of these to dye a solid maple entertainment center. I only ended up using 1 package and still have some mixed dye left in a sealed jar, so a little goes a long ways. Dye was mixed with 2 quarts water as directed, and applied with a foam brush. First coat was sanded back to highlight grain, and two final coats applied. The dye is very easy to work with, and easy to get good results with. It dissolves very well (I filtered it afterward, but it doesn't appear as though it needed to be).

I am never using stain again! This TransFast is the best dye I have used and it provides twice the value since it can do two quarts! Don't mess around with Minwax anymore. What sold it was it works beautifully on really hard woods.

I found that trying to get the right combination color for the cabinet I was refinishing was very difficult. However, if I had to used only a single color it would be a great mixing product.

I bought several of the TransFast Dye power colors. I used them on some very nice projects and can not be more pleased with the outcome.
