The TT's Timber Supplies Rosewood Spirit-Based Wood Dye is designed for woodworkers, DIY enthusiasts, and antique restorers looking to achieve a professional, deep-toned finish on interior timber. Its primary benefit is a high-penetration formula that dries exceptionally quickly, allowing for rapid project turnaround; however, users should be aware that the spirit-based nature of the dye requires well-ventilated workspaces due to solvent fumes.

This dye is primarily formulated for interior use. If used outdoors, it must be covered with a high-quality, UV-resistant exterior sealer.
No, this is a spirit-based (solvent-based) dye, which allows for much faster drying times than water-based alternatives.
Yes, for the best finish, you should sand your timber up to 180-240 grit to ensure the wood is clean and ready for penetration.
One or two coats are usually sufficient to reach the desired depth of color; always allow the dye to dry fully between coats.
Because this is a spirit-based product, you should use a suitable solvent cleaner or methylated spirits to clean your application tools.
It is generally not recommended to mix different brands or types of stains to avoid chemical incompatibility.
Ensure the wood was sanded evenly before application and use a consistent wiping motion along the grain.
Spirit-based dyes are concentrated; you can try pre-wetting the wood slightly with a neutral thinner to reduce absorption depth.
Work in smaller sections rather than attempting to cover large surfaces at once.
To prepare your workspace, ensure you are using drop cloths to protect surrounding surfaces from accidental spills, as spirit-based dyes are permanent. Always work in an area with active airflow or open windows.
Compatibility: This dye is designed for bare wood surfaces. If the wood has been previously varnished or oiled, the surface must be stripped or sanded back to raw wood before application.
Care: After the dye has fully cured, it is recommended to apply a topcoat such as wax, oil, or polyurethane to protect the color from UV fading and mechanical wear. Store the dye container in a cool, dark place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent evaporation.
