This stuff will actually teach you how to use it. I had never used dyes before so I had no idea what to expect. I was working with Birch plywood using black dye as a base then added some blue highlights. Almost immediately you begin to understand what is needed for the look you wish to achieve. By combining colors you can create custom blended colors you will find nowhere else. Great product and very forgiving.

No complaints. My black was black when used on both maple and birch for electric guitar build. In the concentration I mixed it did take a 2-3 coats to build up a good black layer. The wood grain will show through in varying degrees of saturation depending on how many applications (it's not paint). I used it with both water and alcohol and in combination.The color pops after using a sanding sealer and top coat.For deep dark purple I mixed blue and red at 50/50 ratio. I first applied 2 layers of black, then lightly sanded. Then applied 2 layers of purple. Sanded, then another coat of purple, with some black to blend.

I love this stain powder! I had to stain a 12x8 foot feed room that has a particle board floor (like a sponge!) I wanted to stain it black to hide all its stains. I mixed each packet with 2 - 3 cups of water and I had exactly enough to give the floor a good soaking with excellent coverage as you can see in the photos. I love that you can make the stain as dark or light as you want. Great value!

I can only speak for the Black color, but this stuff is definitely purple - not black. The other colors may be great, but I think I'll stick with Minwax in the future.I mixed it per the manufacturer's recommendations and applied several coats, and as other reviewers have stated, it's a dark purple color. You can even hold the container up to the light and give it a little swirl and see how purple the dye is in the light.I do not recommend the black dye.

Wanted black, did not get black when applying to pine, more a purplish blue. Have ordered other colors and still want to try them, black just did not work for this project.

Fantastic product. I used it in water. My boards turned out awesome. It took a bit of experimenting to get the dark colors I was looking for. The instructions are great and their customer service is very helpful should you need advice
