tintura
Explanation:
Una palabrita que da dolor de cabeza cuando se habla de materiales de pintura; en inglés es básicamente una pintura, pero al aplicarse da una capa mucho más delgada y tenue. Se usa, por ejemplo, para cerrar los poros de la madera.

Te ruego consideres esta definición:

Stain
4 : a dye, pigment, or preparation used in staining : a : a solution or dispersion of a dye or pigment in a vehicle (as water, alcohols, or oils) that is usually thinner than a paint or other coating, transparent, and capable of penetrating the pores of wood or other material instead of forming a protective surface

Merriam-Webster (Unabridged)

Ahora que si se trata del verbo podría ser \"teñir\"
