Is is possible to tint watco brushing lacquer with minwax stain

Hey Wouldi
I don’t think I would use watco but you might do another coat or two of your alcohol dye to help make it blacker another trick to make your ebonizing blacker is to add indelible ink to your dye the kind you can get in a art supply or stationary store

Good luck finding an art or stationary store in the land of sanscreativity….

I’m gonna try to get up to Utrecht (today?) for some canvas & brushes if you want me to pick something up, I could then overnight it to you.

Um, I hope you figure it out dear, I know you’ve been working hard.

Don’t give up! :)

If I’ m not mistaken, Minwax is an oil based stain. It will not mix with lacquer. I have mixed Dye stain with lacquer with good results, but I was spraying the finish. I’m not sure about using bruhing lacquer. if you haven’t put any finish on yet, you can darken it now. Mixing color in the finish presents a problem with chipping later too. if possible, coloring the raw wood is a better option.
I frequently shade finishes darker using dye or lacquer stain thinned with lacquer thinner. (Can be done before any clear finish is applied) Do you have spray equipment? If not some of this is irrelavant

Probably way too much information, but maybe it will help someone.
