Product Information

Full details

Polyvine Wood Dye is an ideal choice for woodworkers and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a professional, deep-penetrating finish on hardwood, softwood, plywood, and MDF surfaces. This water-based formula excels at providing even coverage without unsightly overlap marks, making it perfect for both intricate furniture restoration and large-scale projects. While it offers a versatile and low-odour solution, users should note that the dye requires a clear topcoat to seal and protect the wood once the colour has been applied.

FAQs

Can I use this dye outdoors?

Yes, this formula is suitable for both interior and exterior use, provided it is sealed with an appropriate exterior-grade topcoat.

Do I need to sand the wood before applying?

Yes, sanding is essential to open the wood pores and remove any existing finishes so the dye can penetrate properly.

Is this product safe to use on MDF?

Yes, Polyvine Wood Dye is compatible with hardwood, softwood, plywood, and MDF.

How do I clean my brushes?

Because it is water-based, simply wash your brushes and tools in warm, soapy water.

Can I mix this with other Polyvine dyes?

Yes, all Polyvine wood dyes are fully intermixable, allowing you to create custom bespoke colours.

Is a topcoat strictly necessary?

Yes, the dye itself is for colouring. You must apply a clear varnish, wax, or oil over the top to protect the wood and seal the colour.

Troubleshooting

The colour looks uneven on the surface.

Ensure the wood was sanded uniformly before application and that you are applying the dye in long, consistent strokes following the grain.

The dye is drying too fast for a large project.

Work in smaller, manageable sections or lightly dampen the wood surface with a clean cloth just before applying the dye to slow down absorption.

The colour is too light after one coat.

Polyvine Wood Dye can be layered. Allow the first coat to dry completely, then apply a second coat to deepen the intensity of the black.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your project, ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from any old varnish or wax by sanding it thoroughly. Shake the bottle well before use to ensure the pigments are properly dispersed. Apply the dye evenly using a lint-free cloth or a synthetic bristle brush. Once the dye is dry (typically after 45 minutes), you must apply a clear protective topcoat—such as Polyvine varnish or wax—to seal the surface and protect the colour. For cleanup, simply wash your brushes and tools with warm soapy water immediately after application.
