I want to make some tinters using U-Beauy clear shellac & anilene dyes as suggested in the Polishers' Hanbook. No recipes are given.

I'm willing to experiment but this could lead to horrific wastes of time & good products.

Can anyone post a step by step process that works?

Do I dissolve the dye in EtOH & add to shellac?

Can I brush or rub it on or must I spray?

TIA
