In Response To: Strip: Stain/Dye (Bryan Hansel)

For what it's worth......I dyed my Petrel with a water based black dye purchased at a major wood worker shop. Don't recall the brand. It looked beautiful, nice charcoal color with wood grain showing through. Put on the epoxy and it turned this awful green color. Boat is now painted black. We did a test with left over strips and it came out fine. Don't know what happened. I'm now building another Petrel, cause I'm tired of my husband's boat getting all the compliments! This one will be strips, epoxy and varnish. No more dye for me.
