Solvent Dyes The solvent dyes are an extremely versatile finishing
tool. They are commonly used to apply color to a difficult material (glass,
resin, etc.), change the existing color of your finish, or repair a damaged
finish. In addition, the Solvent Dyes may be added to lacquer, wax, epoxy,
oils, resin, or any other solvent product. They may be blended to create
different shades and diluted using our Dye Thinner. All of the colors are
transparent except white.

Below: These columns were made by the company Automated Entrances using
the Solvent Dyes on cast bronze. They are made with a yellow
and black dye base and lightly sprayed with an outer coat of green dye.
The following is an example of green Solvent Dye on
steel: 
Solvent Dye Thinner
This thinner is used to dilute solvent dyes since they are very
concentrated. When the thinner is added, the dyes will be more
transparent. DO NOT substitute with another thinner. This
thinner has UV inhibitors, corrosive inhibitors for all metals, and
binders that help maintain the integrity of the dyes. Do not dilute
the dyes with more than 30% of the thinner.

Patina Stain
Are you confused by the patina process or having difficulty with your metal? Try our new Patina Stain. The Patina Stains are blended to match chemical or traditional patinas without the fuss.
Because the patina stains include a blend of our Solvent Dyes and Permalac sealer, they are UV stable. These stains may be sprayed, brushed, or rubbed on any metal. They should be thinned to produce any shade. They are available in Verde (Copper Green), Black (looks like gun bluing or PC9), and Brown (oil rubbed bronze). One gallon of patina stain covers approximately 300 sq/ft. For best results, over-spray with clear Permalac after application.
The patina stains are available in normal and environmentally friendly formulas. The environmentally friendly formula has lower VOC, no solvent odor, and may be thinned with Permalac EF or acetone.
