Most solid color stains are water-based, and most semi-transparent stains are oil-based - therefore, you cannot mix the two together for good results. If you are not sure which variety you have, check the label for "cleanup" instructions. Oil-based stains will require mineral spirits for cleanup. Water-based stains require soap and water only.

How much brown stain must be mixed in to 5 gallons of black stain to get dark brown stain?

It depends on the specific shades of black and brown stains you are working with. To achieve a desired dark brown color, you would need to experiment with different ratios. Start by adding a small amount of brown stain to a small portion of the black stain and mix well. Adjust the ratio by adding more brown stain if it is not dark enough, or more black stain if it is too dark. Once you achieve the desired shade, use the same ratio to mix the remaining 5 gallons of black stain.
