I'm a fan of the Penofin Marine oil finish for cedar shingles on vertical surfaces. I find the color of the oil is a little to red for a current application and wonder if I could add an oil base tint to kill some of the red look , brown is OK. If this is possible, I would appreciate any suggestions from the group.
TIA Ed Angell
sure. got some green tint?

new product and all bets are off as to the lasting properties of the coating. Since the material doesn't hold up worth a damn on horizontal surfaces subject to a lot of moisture, maybe a new product is in order.

A little green should do it. I'd want to know what the pigment was though, and how long-term UV-stable it is.
When I'm using pigments like this, I often find myself using better quality pigments than I really need, just because their makers are used to dealing with artists and are more forthcoming with such information.
