System Components
The secret is in the system
We’ve
designed the Triclad System components to work in seamless harmony with
each other, so that you have a system that is easy to use, reliable,
and accurate.
Mixing
equipment
Because improper stain agitation can prevent you from obtaining consistent,
high-quality results, the Triclad Stain Matching System uses the Fillon Pinchon
MiniMix 150. The MiniMix 150 features a modular design that accommodates 16
cans and can be scaled to meet your needs. It is ideal for accommodating the
Triclad bases, plus additional coatings you might use, including quart-size
cans. An important element of this patented mixing system is the lid, which
has a built-in paddle for thorough agitation and a tight-sealing, easy-pour
spout for handling large quantities or small.
Optionally, the Fillon Pinchon FP 7000 Select digital scale may be used
for those who prefer to create formulations by weight instead of volume.
It features an easy-to-read LED display that lets you measure down to one-tenth
gram, and a proportional weighing feature that allows you to scale your formulations
up or down with the touch of a button.
Color chips
You
receive two sets of 282 wood veneer chips, one in red oak, one in maple.
The chips are handsomely displayed in an attractive wooden box, and are
labeled with a color number that references a formula. 
Formula
book
This would be considered the nerve center of the Triclad Stain Matching
System. In it you will find easy-to-follow instructions, helpful hints and
tips, and, most importantly, the formulas for each of the 282 colors in the
system.
Triclad
mixing bases
Only a few base colors and one clear base are needed to replicate the System’s 282 colors, as well as create the virtually infinite gamut of other stain color options. These reliable, high-quality bases have the perfect balance of solvent, resin, and pigment, and have been designed specifically as intermixes for the Triclad System. They are available exclusively from Fasse Paint Company.
