You can use coloured ink that you use for an Inkjet printer (to fill the reservoirs) just 4 colours available Magenta, Cyan, Yellow and Black... but you can mix them to obtain the colour you like. Just spread evenly onto bare wood and after it has dried coat with a good quality clear varnish the wood grain can be seen. These inks have long lasting colours.
First of all I want to say congratulations. I just discovered your channel and I've been watching a lot of your different segments and I really thoroughly enjoy it. II would like to give you some instruction on a technique that I've been using I've been making my own stain now for over 8 years. I buy boiled linseed oil and turpentine note those items together cause spontaneous combustion so you don't want to use a rag and then throw it in the trash can because your trash can could catch on fire but I use 50-50 turpentine and boiled linseed oil after I get that mixture the boiled linseed oil actually penetrates the grain with the help of the turpentine and it really makes the grain pop out and be pronounced really stands out with a boiled linseed oil I buy artist grade oil paint and just a little bit of paint whatever color I desire goes into my 50/50 boiled linseed oil turpentine mixture and that's how I make my own stain. I use burnt umber quite often burnt umber is the artist translation of dark brown the more burnt umber I use I can actually make a walnut stain I can vary my stains make natural wood coloring stains by using artist grade paint... Or i can be creative and use actual colors.
Good idea. I was at a close out store and found natural color wood stain for $.25 a quart can. I bought the shelf out and have given several boxes of it away. From Sherwin Williams store I begged for a tiny bit of black tint to make a grey out of a gallon of white paint , but used the same tint in the cheap natural stain to stain a dog casket black. I haven't tried simply using paint to tint it but now glad to know it works well.
this is a good idea, I tried it and the paint would not mix with the stain, tried oil based, water based, different craft paint, could not find any that would mix with the stain, what brand paint and stain did you use
I have some scrap wood I’d like to prep by sanding. I’m going to make a stain base with boiled linseed oil and either mineral spirits or naphtha. I will use universal tints for color.
Please sir, Can you tell me what brand craft paint you used ? Your work looks so vivid Im sure the quality of your oil craft paint played a role!! Thank You for your very helpful video..
By the looks of the bottles I can give you a very close guess, those small square bottles are typically that of Testors brand paint. I have a few bottles in my draw and even the bar code sticker looks the same.
Since the video maker doesn't seem to answer questions here: I can't find oil-based craft paints that don't come in tubes but I see a bunch of liquid acrylic paints. The paint used in this video looks like Testors (for example) model car paint based on the bottle. But I don't remember that those were oil based. Do any other viewers have any experience with this technique? Can the oil-based paint in tubes be used? Can liquid acrylic or model car paint be used? Thanks in advance!
Holy Smokes how much does it cost to buy the stain and color paints? I mean it is clever, but wouldn't it just be cheaper, cleaner and easier getting the 5 color wood stain kit from Amazon? I have to say you are very clever though and will definitely check out your other videos, because I am sure you have Super brilliant ideas! Thank you so much for sharing! Subscribed!
had to go back to the drawing board, I could not let it beat me, tried this again and added more paint, added lot more then you did, but, when doing this it worked, but I did use a cheap wal mart oil paint, but hey, it worked
The music in background is monumentally irritating. Please no music in any DIY videos. Golden rule. The brain can only process one sound channel at a time. Also, your music is highly subjective. Most will not like your choices, so you alienate many viewers. Ditto for the distracting black and white transitions of image. Keep it simple without gimmicks. Video was very useful as I cannot find a green stain in any box stores or even online. Thanks for a great demo!!

FINALLY! Thanks so much. This is exactly what I needed!!
Thanks! I was going to put down some serious money on a rainbow of colors of gel stain. Now I just need to spend a few bucks!!
this is a good idea, I tried it and the paint would not mix with the stain, tried oil based, water based, different craft paint, could not find any that would mix with the stain, what brand paint and stain did you use
Gonna try this w rit dye, ink and paint. Have a similar semi transparent stain finish. Thank you
Sounds great!
Mix artist oil paint in tubes w mineral spirits..Makes perfect stain paint
Nice results. Very informative. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video, excellent results. You mean "vigorous," not "rigorous." I'm going to use this technique.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much. I especially appreciate you tried the water based mixed with the stain.
What a great informative video! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Ah Million ☑️
Could you use clear water based wood stain to mix with water based paint color?
Great video, do you think that food coloring would tint the stain?
I think so!
Love it
awesome idea. thanks so much for posting.
Great technique! Thanks for sharing!
Great video. By chance do you have updates on such technique, or is this video the most recent on it? Thank you in advance.
Not yet!
@@DIYeasycrafts
Plus it's kind of good enough already, really. Good job. Thank you.
I made wood stain from steel and vinegar, it is amazing
I've done the same with leather
I have a similar work bench stand..
Excellent, I will be giving this a go - thanks
Would this work with pigment instead of paint
does your wife know you took her fork to mix this lol...... Thank you for the video I bought the oild base paint and am trying an American Flag
Awesome have fun
I hope someone can answer this. Does it have to be oil based paint. Can this be done with acrylic paint?
Clear, Mini Wax...but the paint, which paint you use? These little pots with colours?
Looks like testors model paint.
Would this work on a primed plastic surface, you think?
Me, I use paint diluated with water. After, I apply the mix and finally I wipe the mix and my stain is done.
Willy boy i was thinking the same
Food coloring also
I have some scrap wood I’d like to prep by sanding. I’m going to make a stain base with boiled linseed oil and either mineral spirits or naphtha. I will use universal tints for color.
what you use for the base on your wood pieces (the white color)
Is it just me or does the leprechaun upside down look like the leprechauns angry wife lol
Yes. Wearing a grass skirt.
is that model car paint?
It looks like ink paint I have a bottle just like those
Great I was just looking for this for a rainbow flag Tks
Can i mix stain with acriic and have the same result ?
Acrylic is a water-based paint, so it may take more with a wood stain, but yeah
I have that sweatshirt I’m in island park grew up in long beach

is this oil colore?
Water based paint meaning latex, or acrylic?
latex
@@DIYeasycrafts Oh, nice. Will it work to combine colours to make a new colour?
@@generalawareness101 I never tried but it absolutely should work
@@DIYeasycrafts It will be an interesting experiment for sure.

Use the oil based paint in tubes, artist quality.
Used colour names plz.. sere
nice
Or you could just buy aniline dye and mix it with water or alcohol.

If you’ve ever priced Unicorn Spit Stain Gel - which is awesome - it’s not inexpensive- AT ALL!
How well does it soak in? I am looking to color veener and glue the layers together to make pen blanks....would this work?
When spontaneity hits you look for what you have on hand to use, not wait on Amazon to get it to you.
@@jameslipke354 Agreed!
Disculpen,qué tipo de pintura es o aquí en Mexico como la consigo
Pintura de pasatiempos marca Testor a base de aceite.
Pintura kkotas. 😊
went to wal mart today, got oil based paint, its a no go, this did not work for me
had to go back to the drawing board, I could not let it beat me, tried this again and added more paint, added lot more then you did, but, when doing this it worked, but I did use a cheap wal mart oil paint, but hey, it worked

I agree. There is no need for background music. It's distracting and annoying Consider reposting.
I came here to avoid buying wood stain....that is the base for this and then paint.....bad,that is diluted paint really....
It
Thank you Great job problem solver why didn't you wear gloves
I have reported you to the cultural appropriation police.
