I'm investigating "make your own stain" using aniline powders. While
Googling around, I stumbled across a posting in a private forum (more
than a year old) which you may read here:
http://www.ridgidforum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11883&postcount=6
Of particular interest was the statement:
>> Sounds like what you were using was an Aniline Powder
>> Stain (Dye). These have been around forever and generally
>> used by professionals. Today, there are Blend Al powders
>> which are more versatile and can be mixed with most
>> finishing chemicals to tint or even make stains.
What is a "Blend Al powder?" (That's A-el, not A-one). I assumed that
"Al" means aluminum, but I am unable to find a source for an "aluminum
powder" which would serve the same type of general purpose as aniline
powders.
The guy sounds like he knows what he's talking about... but I don't.
Can anyone assist?
Thanks!

Yes, thank you, I'm sure the guy on that private forum did mean
"Blendal" brand from Mohawk.

That is a typo. It should read , there are "Blend All" powders which are
more versatile and can be mixed with most finishing chemicals...
It's a stain powder made by Mohawk finishing products. Here's the link:

It's primarily meant for touchup work.
Homestead Finishing also supplies dry powder stains.
