That's a lot more than I could conclude by looking at a picture of the bottle.


I only know that it's a solvent _dye stain_ as that's what it sez' on
the label, and I KNOW what most pigment stains do to maple (not good).
Solvent can be alcohol or petroleum based. That leaves oils and dyes
for color. G

I'm guessing at the repackaging, based on the industry. Getting a
private label solvent based stain made is not as easy as getting a
microbrew bottled for you. Also, check out the price! Day-um!!! G


Yeah, the stuff is cheaper now than it was almost 30 years ago. I've seen rifles with this stain on
it, and they've looked pretty nice-nice brown with just a touch of red to it. Really brings out the
curl though.. No first hand experience with it, unfortunately.
