Application Guide

Recommended Tools: Brush, sponge, or cloth

Dissolving in Water: For best results, use hot (but not boiling) water. Always start by pouring the water into a clean glass, plastic (HDPE), or ceramic container. Gradually add the pigment powder while stirring continuously. Keep stirring occasionally for 10–15 minutes to ensure complete dissolution. Allow the mixture to cool before applying.

Dissolving in Alcohol: We recommend using Methanol (wood alcohol) or denatured alcohol. Although both work, Methanol offers the best results. Pour the solvent into a suitable container first, then slowly add the pigment powder, stirring as you go. Stir occasionally over 30–60 minutes to ensure full dissolution.
When dissolved in alcohol, the pigment can also be mixed with our to create custom tinted finishes. Always strain the solution before adding it to the lacquer to prevent any undissolved particles from clogging your spray equipment.

Application: Apply the mixed stain directly onto the wood surface using a sponge, cloth, or brush — ideal for adding vibrant, professional-quality finishes to our and custom luthier projects.
