I have been using the Artisan anilin dyes diluted with alcohol. Recently on this forum it wsa mentioned that the dyes fade with time and that the
chestnut brand (England) STAIN is purportedly to not fade as much.
I just got the chestnut stain yesterday from CSUSA. Getting ready to dil the concentrates in separate containers.
My question is what is the difference between stain and dye (in lay terms!!!). It can also be diluted with alcohol. Anilan=$8 for 8 oz vs $13 for Chestnut 8 oz.
Can mix them together????.
Problem is that I only have one piece that I have kept in living room-rest are sold or in plastic boxes, so I'll never know the truth by my experience, Gretch
