OK so I'm looking at various wood stains; cedar, maple etc.

I see Tint Base? :?

So is this a stain that I add stain to or what? :?

Can it be used as is? :?
I suppose I should ask the sales assistant. :doh:

be nice :-
thanks skeg

Found the answer thanks :wink:

Wood Stain comes in two tint bases—Clear Tint Base and White Tint Base—that are used to make 40 different stain colors. A tint base is brought to the paint counter at the hardware store for color mixing, similar to the way paint is mixed.
