Alcohol-based stains were old hands and they were superseded by water stains which are easier to use and non-flammable of course.
Now, with alcohol stains you can get transparent effects or bright colours that you don't achieve with water stains. Alcohol stains are always pure colouring stains, there is no chemical reaction.
Merkelbach has again developed alcohol stains because we want to be able to create colours and effects that no one does yet, but also because such alcohol stains also have advantages. It works and dries very quickly, can be finished without danger with a water-based end product (varnish) or with oil or floor polish. Moreover, the wood will not swell or roughen, as is the case with water stain. The surface remains beautifully smooth, immediately ready for finishing.
Merkelbach alcohol stain is made on the basis of our high-quality polishing alcohol with the addition of shellac and flux.
This alcohol stain may be based on pure ethanol, but it is made undrinkable! (So you don't just get drunk, you get deathly ill)
