I don't understand the distinction between stain and dye. I don't think
we share that terminology here where a stain is almost always a dye.


Every quarter I teach a class on coloring wood and often the very first
question from the class is, "What are the differences between stains and
dyes?"


Larry, I was going to give Tim much the same answer, but you did much
more coherently than I could have. Nice work.

P.S. I also gave finishing classes when I worked at Woodcraft and yes,
that was a common question there as well.
