   I just checked at Jeff's site and found this:  "TransTints cannot be added to most of the “Danish” oils or finishes thinned with a high ratio of mineral spirits."

   Here's the page:  http://homesteadfinishing.com/htdocs/TransTint.htm The above quote is from the "Use as a Finish Toner" section.  He gives instructions for mixing with other oils and oil-based varnishes.

   I usually buy some dark walnut Watco to mix with the golden oak.

   FG,

   Thanks, I should have thought to check Jeff's site.  I have a sample working now where I hit the oak with just the dye/water and then the watco golden oak...not sure I like it very much...  with open pore woods I think its best to use alcohol in the dye rather than water.

   Something along those same lines is what I often do too.

   Regards,
