TransTint or ColorTone dyes with TruOil

Posted by Jon W Queno Musical Instruments on August 31, 2025 at 5:01 pm

Has anyone had any experience using a color dye in TruOil? And if so, how did it work for you? I have been dying an electric bass body with Rit black dye, but once the TruOil started going on, the color started moving around leaving lighter spots. Any thoughts or advice?

  Thank you. Saves me money. I’ll just learn to live with it.
