Contrast Stain
Hi all, I've been reading through this post and have found it very informative and would like to thank everyone for all the info provided. I noticed in a reply a ways back that Mohawk Industries was mentioned as a supplier of dyes. I was only able to find a flooring company when I searched for that. Can anyone paste the url?
Also, if any else would not mind sharing their source for dyes I'd appreciate the tips. I tried out a couple of the alcohol soluble stains from Pimo but was not very happy with them.
Thanks again to everyone here who posts. I am a spare time amateur pipemaker and have found this site to be invaluable.

I noticed in a slide show from one Italian pipemaker that he did actually set the pipe on fire after having applied the tint. Whether it was the undertint or the top layer I do not remember now.
Someone mentioned earlier in the thread that some colors or dyes needed heat to set in, well this might be a part of the solution to that perhaps. If the tint is alcohol based just be generous with it and hold it to your spirit lamp or candle and - whosh !
Any reflections on this?
