My local supplier carries Superpax so I've never tried Zircopax, not sure how much of a difference there really is.<br />I'm finding good results from 12 to 15% stain and 3 to 5% opacifier, depending on the stain. The extra cost is worth the extra punch of a solid color.<br />Andy[nancy + andy]https://www.blogger.com/profile/13565018854974810484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21117810.post-66972100979759993432009-05-09T10:38:00.000-04:002009-05-09T10:38:00.000-04:00hi judi... it was my first time with the stains so...hi judi... it was my first time with the stains so i started with 5% of each and combined them with each other, guess i was hoping i wouldn't need to use so much because of the expense but i'll probably double them on the next test.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21117810.post-80032604085652298462009-05-09T00:29:00.000-04:002009-05-09T00:29:00.000-04:00good luck judi!

I've also mixed small amounts of black in to deepen greens, blues, reds and purples (I often work in deep jewel tones)<br />I have 4 good clear glaze formulas I've used with mason stains, and one highly reliable satin white if you're interested in any formulas, I am in a big mason stain kick right now!<br /><br />-amandaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21117810.post-47800349114186778562009-05-09T00:00:00.000-04:002009-05-09T00:00:00.000-04:00linda... not that neat..
