Transform Your Log Cabin: Staining with the Sashco Flex Tint System!

What happens here

Jim introduces Sashco's Flex Tint program, a tintable stain system available for both water-based (Capture) and solvent-based (Transformation Log and Timber) stains. He explains that this system was developed to solve the aforementioned problems. He criticizes traditional tinting methods, which involve adding liquid colorants from cans or bottles that tend to settle at the bottom, making it difficult to achieve consistent color and often leading to messy application and wasted product. These old methods hinder repeatability and result in color variations.

Tools and materials

  • Flex Tint cartridges
  • Old tint containers (cans/bottles)

that problem you can be hours away from the nearest store and if you run out it's a problem at the same time if you um go to a home way out there and you think that you're putting on this thing but you're prepped was such that it turns out a little darker because it's more textured now you want to change colors again and it's hours back and you lose a day easy yeah easy so that's always been a problem um and so we wanted to solve that problem by offering a tint program uh that's also a good solution for dealers because maybe you get to that dealer but he doesn't have that color right right then he's got to order it well that's more days right right so by going to it a tint system and doing it the right way a different way we get down to a system where we can actually give you guys the colors you need when you need it in the quantity that you need and give you the ability to change on the fly so the heart of it comes down to the old methods right you've seen the old tint containers right like a can right we pop the cut the lid off when you dump it into the stain bucket did it all get out I don't know I gotta sit and work it around did some settle on the bottom yeah and I gotta scrape it how are you gonna be consistent with your color that's the old way right so we went from that to bottles the bottles have got to be better right right so we'll try to shake it up and get the subtle colorant off the bottom dump that in right right did you get it in I don't know suck it up try to get some more Out Shake It Up what a mess yeah and it's amazing just to be honest right so when we looked at this problem we said all right we want
