1) WILD NIGHTS DESIGN CHALLENGE
Yes, there are a couple of ways. Dye Stain Reducer is the clear base that we use when manufacturing General Finishes Dye Stains. The Reducer is made first, then the dye color is added.
It is easy to make your own custom color Dye Stain by adding in 10% increments of Dye Stain color to Reducer until you achieve the color you want. It is not possible to mix too much of our Dye Stain and Reducer together.
Q: Which 12 colors will remain in the Milk Paint line?
It's always possible to darken a stained surface, but you cannot lighten a stained surface after the finish has dried.
When the surface is still wet, you can try to lighten the color by scrubbing with mineral spirits. If the finish has hardened, you will need to sand down your current stain and start over or use one of our paints.
You can mix GF Gel Stain colors to create a custom color.
You can also thin Gel Stain with 10-15% mineral spirits.
Always test our color on a hidden area of your project before beginning.
