I've read about tinting shellac with analine dyes (transtint). Has
anyone ever tried to tint shellac with an oil stain?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Mixol will combine with most any finish, if that is of interest.

Are they sold through retailers or just direct? I would like a bottle but
their freight is punitive.

"Universal colors" are what your paint dealer uses to
tint paint base. Wouldn't hurt to ask if he can sell you
a few tubes -- or even if he can tint a pint of blond shellac
with his computerized mixer provided the risk isn't
on him.
