dwacker Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I feel for ya on you being color blind. My Father-In-Law is too. Just wondering on the black thing. I use yellow dye all the time and don't get the results you do. My last Ash project was a turned bowl ( go to my gallery page) and no black grain there? Maybe that was due to using NGR dye? Sometimes tannin's in the oaks cause issue using water-based products which cause the black. Seldom but it happens. Not sure if Ash has tannin issues? This stuff can be crazy? Dont know about the chemistry part. I just use alot of dyes because they are cost effective, dont buy stains in a can. I can make make 5-8 gallons of dye for $30 or tint 16 gallons of finish for $30.
