    Default Please help find an inexpensive Water Based Clear Tint Base Stain

    Just found a really nice project that requires Minwax Water Based Clear Tint Base Stain
    Where it has to be staled at the store.

    Minwax not sold in Australia.

    Can anyone please help me find a cheaper alternative?
    I have 4 colors I need.
    And don't want to have to pay $50+ for each color.

    Thanks in advance
    Thanks,
    Barry G. Sumpter

    Seems that everything is $50+ 'cos it's all 1L tins.

    Maybe try proper paint stores, they might do small/sample sizes if you only have a small project.

    At work we had a set of Feast Watson stains for small jobs that weren't worth sending out, we'd just stain the timber directly and spray clear over the top.

    Yeah. Amazing what you can find with an internet search.
    "water based wood dyes" in a Google search.
    Ubeaut is the third result.

    I use the dyes that are sold by CWS if you don't water them down you will get navy blue and vibrant red using these water based dyes.Talk to Jim at CWS he will be very helpful.
