The trend has been moving from “solvent” dyestuff to “water-based” dyestuff.

In a water-based dyestuff it has two categories the “staining” dyestuff and the “coating” dyestuff.

Most of the aniline refinishing restoration work Chet used are now “coating’ dyestuff with Aniline-76 more then Aniline-21.

Aniline-76 “transparent “ dyestuff can be coat over “opaque” pigment like Micro-54 to retain the lighter range of color bring the restoration back closed to aniline then pigmented.

Retaining aniline finishing back to aniline maintains it value then to downgrade into pigmented.
