hey bro, long time no hear. now that you mentioned it, what is available locally and where? I wouldn't mind trying some...

Re: Aniline Dyes

hey timb!

got little time to surf these days.

btw, these aniline dyes that i know of are "stains" to highlight some parts of the human cells or tissues.these stains are either acidic or basic..as you know human tissues contain either acidic or basic parts..so the acidic stain will bind to the basic parts and vice versa.

these dyes come either in shades of blue (e.g. crystal violet) or red (safranin).

hmmm..it makes me wonder now if we test these stains on wood..why not?

ok ill bring some from the lab and try it on some grainy pine.

cheers!

Re: Aniline Dyes

Re: Aniline Dyes

hi telecaster, you seem to deep into woodworking as well, anilene dyes are advance stages of finishing and not commonly seen or used locally. we look forward to seeing your works... I have seen what you seem to want to do on youtube and would like to try it on some of my works as well. a green maple electric guitar that fades from light to dark is really interesting...
cheers

hi timb,

nah im really not well verse in wood working at least not as deep as you are Ive seen your work and tools and your in a whole different league hehehehehehe im a big fan, its just that anilene dyes are the only way for me but if you have suggestions im open for it

im currently working on 3 guitars commissioned by friends a 50's telecaster, 70's strat and a suhr modern copy will be needing the dye for the suhr copy to make the grains on the maple top pop a bit,

btw timb i saw in one of your post you posted cans of minwax i was wondering where you got it? is it from True value? do they have wipe on poly? and do you have any idea where i can get clear grain filler?

sorry f i ask too many questions i hope you dont mind

hope to hear from you soon

Tele

Yes those minmax were bought from True Value in Shangrila, unfortunately they are no longer available that I am aware of, I use to have the wipe on poly too, but half of it dried up. as for fillers, there are several available like Elmers and Pye but I make my own using the sanded dust from the same wood (keeps the color the same) and sanding sealer for pore filling...
thank you for the kind words sir. and do continue asking, that is how I learned what I know, lots here are willing to share what they know, a lot of which I am learning as well.
do post some of your work...

Re: Aniline Dyes

well Doc V. is correct again, aniline dyes really are available locally. got some and had time to test some...
the test pieces... pine and narra.

dye color is red mixed with warm water... dried after 15 minutes..

tried the green, but mixed with shellac, I should find a better way to try this though...

the other piece stained three times (which is why it is darker)... and some color contrast for reference...

Re: Aniline Dyes

how is that applied?

Re: Aniline Dyes

I used rags lang... wipe it on.

Re: Aniline Dyes

What's the name of the store that sells the dyes?

Re: Aniline Dyes

I really don't know Jarod, it was a small bookstore in front of Jollibee... 😀

I think it can be found elsewhere... will post picture tonight... 😉

Re: Aniline Dyes

I see, thanks Timber! Sa Jollibee, ano ok bilhin? 😀

Re: Aniline Dyes

nag palabok lang ako, busog pa kasi kaya light lang muna... 😀

but when you see the dye, I think it can be sourced in palengke's all around 😉
