Would you use "tinte" to mean wood stain? Or "tinte para madera"?? Or something else? (I don't mean paint for wood, I mean a wood stain--the kind that is not opaque.)

Thank you. Do you also know how to specify "water-based" rather than "oil-based"? - wren99, Nov 7, 2010
I would say "pintura a base de agua" "pintura a base de acete" - kmeza, Nov 9, 2010

Margaret, varnish is not a stain, it is a finish coating. - Yeser007, Nov 7, 2010
Yes, that's correct. Varnish and stain are not the same thing. Stain provides color, varnish provides protection. Thank you anyway. - wren99, Nov 7, 2010
