Listen...Don't buy any fancy dye stuff with limited colors. USE ARTIST OIL PAINT...mix it with mineral spirits* and create ANY color you can imagine. Been doing this since the 60's when I learned it from my Mom. ( loads of other thinners work but I think mineral spirits is best. Enamel reducer is also good)

[@UpNorthHandyman]

Thanks for sharing, I will try that!

[@joebotz1243]

What's the recommended ratio?

[@RussReid]

Makes perfect sense why this would work. Thank you for saving time and money.

[@BruceWayne_87]

Thank you for the suggestion i will do it soon! But a little question, i have this puzzle pieces made out of wood but the old paint is vanishing and i want to repaint them using acrylic. Do i have to sand them down to remove the old paint or i could just simply apply the new paint

[@katiebange1916]

@@BruceWayne_87you cannot paint acrylic over oil. Ever. Oil always goes over acrylic, this I know. So sand those guys down my friend!

[@melkillam4459]

I love the purple. I would love to do my deck in this!

[@silverhandcreative]

Hey... Thanks for the vid. I'm a bit late to the party, but do you know how colour fast these dyes would be outdoors, in direct sunlight..? Tryin' to find outdoor wood stains that are vibrant & not just varieties of brown... Cheers, C... 🤟🏻

Dude…. Thank you!! I wish I could Post a pic of my finished project… it came out epic! Thank You

[@alexreid4131]

Awesome breakdown. Especially helpful for someone like me who is extremely colorblind.

[@UpNorthHandyman]

Thanks I am glad that you enjoyed it!

[@FounderOf4]

I have watched BDB's video several times, actually I think that he has a couple about dying and sho sugi ban.. anyhow, you didn have a great breakdown of the results, comparisons and awesome results. Great job, this is going into my KZbin "reference material" folder for me to refer back to later. Thank you!

[@UpNorthHandyman]

Thanks for the kind words and glad you liked the video!

[@guyh.4553]

Like the information a lot. Especially like the idea of using water instead of other 3 liquids you showed. I saw on another different video where the maker went to a JoAnn's Fabric (and Crafts) & got a multi pack of oil-based paints & mixed it with clear MinWax stain. I found a similar oil paint package but haven't tried it yet. So thats a thought. Very neat concept!.😊😊😊

[@UpNorthHandyman]

Thanks for sharing! I like using water over the other stuff as well, I find it a lot easier to work with from all aspects..just my opinion.

[@guyh.4553]

@@UpNorthHandyman didn't think about that. Great idea. Forgot to ask, did you use tap water or distilled water? Not sure if it would make a difference.

[@UpNorthHandyman]

@@guyh.4553 I used just regular tap water.

[@Dude-qz5lr]

Great video. Very informative. Thank you for sharing this 👍🏻

[@UpNorthHandyman]

Thank you!

[@bigjondlc4140]

Would adding a small amount of black to the green, blue, purple make it darker ? That way you don’t have to double up on lighter colors?

[@UpNorthHandyman]

I haven't tried that yet, but it is worth trying!

[@gordonyork6638]

It certainly make it darker though the intensity of the color would not increase.

[@Elementaliti]

So if I have hardwood floor already installed, could I sand it down, stain it and resurface it to look like this? These colors are insane I would love to do something like that with the floor I have.

[@UpNorthHandyman]

If it is true hardwood, I imagine that it would work the same as long as you put a good clearcoat, same as you would with any other stain. That sounds awesome!

[@fathogwoodworking]

Another great video. Loved the colors and how you can customize it. 👍

[@UpNorthHandyman]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@ricohernandez2394]

Thanks so much for this informative video!!! You just conviced me to buy the the dye kit! It gonna be great to mix what i need when i need it! Continued sucess with your channel! I subscribed by the way!! keep em coming! Rico

[@UpNorthHandyman]

Hi Rico thanks for the support and I am glad that the video helped. I thought that the kit was worth it considering the price.

[@stigmatizedk.jasuicidesurv9216]

Is the paint chipping and flaking or just worn away? I don’t know how detailed the paint is in the puzzle as I can’t see it lol. I’m an artist, I can tell you what I would do if I was fixing a puzzle like that, but the most important thing to remember is trust your own gut and intuition for what you want to do. 🥰 100% sand the effected areas no matter what, if it is just worn and smooth, the sanding will be very light, only enough to give your finish something to grip to. if it is worn or chipped the sanding will need to be more in depth to remove all the chipping. you want to preserve the original paint work, you can spray clear matte or high shine finish artists use on their finished paintings on the whole piece before you sand the compromised areas. If you notice there’s a raised area between where you’ve sanded and where the original finish and paint starts, you can apply a few coats of gesso on the areas you sanded until the sanded area is even with the surrounding original finish. Let the gesso dry completely and then sand it between each coat. As acrylic paint dries fast, even artist grade acrylic paints, so if you need more time to mix/blend/and match your colors to the original paint, there’s a great product for that! “Golden” makes a really great product “GAC 100”. You mix a dab into your primary colors right on your pallet. It does not impact the color or saturation and acts as a primer. Then you mix those primary colors to match the original finish, paint them on the sanded and gessoed areas, then VOILA! 🤩 perfect! Good as new and there will be no texture difference between the original and restored sections. Spray the finish you used to protect the original finish onto the entire piece and you’re all done. Best of luck. Sorry for the novel but this is one thing I actually know how to do really well!

[@Spacejack-xx2yp]

If you wanna get completely insane you could collect the soot from the burns and make ink with it

[@gordonyork6638]

You said that the medium you use effects the saturation of the color. You only used water as your medium, perhaps the cooler colors would have better color, but you didn't do that so there is no way to know.

[@PolinaPutsato]

amazing!!! thank u

[@UpNorthHandyman]

I am glad that you enjoyed the video!

[@HaloWolf102]

Heck yeah.

[@Riko333]

Can this technique be used for outside projects, or is it just for inside projects? Thank you

[@UpNorthHandyman]

As long as you protect it with an outdoor polyurethane you should be good

[@Riko333]

@@UpNorthHandyman oh I see. Great advice. Thank you!

[@caseymacgill3428]

Can you use for an outdoor application?

[@UpNorthHandyman]

I don't see why not, as long as you maintain it with a good UV protection for exterior you should be good.

[@manyfeather2knives423]

Could you use a grinder instead of the electric drill?

[@UpNorthHandyman]

I haven't tried that yet, I would imagine it would give similar results, great idea!

[@Strohmister]

So I bought the blue dye… here is the issue I am running into… walnut wood does not hold color well, nor does it seal the color you dye it.. lol any tips?

[@UpNorthHandyman]

Nothing on walnut, can you do maple instead?

how would i get this color? hex code 32ff14

[@UpNorthHandyman]

Check out the Keda Dye youtube channel, you might find it there. He does a lot of different color combinations. Other than that I would just experiment and add blue to the yellow until you get the color matched. That is a pretty bright green
