I've just spent some time researching the Behlen water-based grain filler online, and I see that "brown" is indeed tan-ivory..."mahogany" is pink..."neutral" is white.
(I should have studied all of this before ordering. Duh!)
On one page, I found where someone says Rit dye may be mixed with CrystaLac to color it. So now my question is...can Rit dye be added to the Behlen water-based filler, and can it be dyed to the point that it is dark brown, almost black? Because if the Behlen product can't be made dark, then there is no point in my wasting my time with it, and I should send it back for a refund.
I really liked how the Behlen stuff worked, except for the awful color.
And...I still have the small jar of Timber Mate that I have yet to try. At least they mean it when they say "walnut" because it really is walnut in color.
