Cutting Alcohol Based Stain

I have been using a fair bit of "Pre-64 Winchester" red stain that I bought from Galazan.

Works great but it is rather dark.

I would like to cut it. It's an alcohol based stain, but that's pretty much all I know about it.

Anybody know what I should use to cut this stuff?

Why not call (or e-mail) and ask them for an MSDS on it? That will tell you what their alcohol in it is, and I will have to assume you can lighten it up by adding more of the same (diluting it).


My country gal's just a moonshiner's daughter, but I love her still.

This will also work with water based stains to help speed drying
