TOYMAKER’S QUICK AND EASY HOME KITCHEN WOOD-TINTING FORMULA STERILIZES THE WOOD AND IT’S NON-TOXIC!
Obtain any color tint desired on any wood without staining! It’s all done in your kitchen oven.
Step1: Cut out the automobile into two pieces per the pattern from common white wood.
Step 2: Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius.
Step 2:
Place the parts to be tinted on a cookie sheet and place in the oven.
The dark tone requires one hour in the oven. The medium tone requires
1/2 hour in the oven. For darker tones increase the oven time. For
lighter tones decrease the oven time.
Step 3: Remove tinted parts from oven and let cool until warm to the touch.
Step 4: Apply Cynthia’s Paste Wax Finish. The easy-to-make homemade formula is on our website at

Think Safety
Remember to keep the safety of yourself and others in your work shop in your thoughts at all times. Always wear eye and ear protection. Follow all the manufactures warnings that came with your power tools. If I demonstrate something on this web site that you don't feel is safe, don't do it. Your safety is your responsibility. Fingers are handy things, try to keep all of them.
