<p>Hello Audum, I too have recently aquired a new Boucher Banjo Kit from Terry Bell and He Recommended using Wood Dyes instead of stains. Dyes sink deeper into the wood and show the grains much better. they are also much easier to use, no mess, no smell and very quick dry time. I got mine from the Luthiers Mercantile Co. Comes in a kit of 3 colors, Red, Yellow & Brown. You mix a bit of each to get the desired color.</p>
<p>Kit coast about $12 to $15 Here is the Website …</p>

<p>Wes, yes that's a thing I've used many a time... it's basically just a super diluted artist oil color, mixed with oil and turpentine...like artists use only with a veyr small amount of pigment instead of the usual other way around- (mostly pigment made workable with oil and turp mixture)..</p>

<p>Many years ago an old timer showed me how to match stain using a mix of one part boiled linseed oil to four parts mineral spirits then tinting to the desired color using tubes of artist's oil color. </p>
