Rustins Wood Dye is designed for users looking to color bare wood before applying a protective finish. Its key benefit is providing a fast-drying, penetrating stain that doesn't raise the wood grain, allowing for infinite shade variations by intermixing. A key consideration is that the final color appearance is dependent on the wood's original color and the topcoat applied.

No, Rustins Wood Dye is intended for use on new bare wood or wood that has been completely stripped of previous finishes. Applying it over existing coatings will prevent proper absorption and result in an uneven or no color change.
You can achieve darker shades by mixing available Rustins Wood Dye colors. For example, mixing 'Dark Oak' with 'Black' (if available) or applying multiple coats of a dark shade like 'Dark Mahogany' or 'Dark Teak' will deepen the color. Always test your mixture on scrap wood first.
Rustins Wood Dye is fast-drying. Typically, it is dry to the touch within minutes and ready for a second coat or over-coating within an hour, depending on application thickness and environmental conditions like temperature and humidity.
No, a key feature of Rustins Wood Dye is that it is a penetrating stain that does not raise the wood grain, meaning you won't need to pre-sand after initial application to deal with raised fibers.
One coat is often sufficient for a light to medium color. For deeper, richer tones, apply additional coats after the previous one has dried. Always test on scrap wood to determine the desired color intensity.
Yes, Rustins Wood Dye conforms to the Safety of Toys Regulations BS EN 71 Part 3 1995, making it suitable for use on wooden toys when properly applied and sealed.
Absolutely. The dyes are designed to be intermixed to create an infinite variety of natural wood shades. Experiment on scrap wood to find your perfect custom color.
Ensure the wood surface was uniformly prepared and that the dye was applied evenly. Apply additional coats to deepen color in lighter areas after the initial coat is dry. Test on scrap wood first to gauge absorption.
The final color depends on the wood's original color and the type of topcoat applied. Always perform a test on a scrap piece of the same wood and a sample of your chosen topcoat before applying to the main project.
Ensure the wood dye is completely dry before applying the topcoat. Apply a clear, sanding sealer first if significant bleeding occurs.
Setup: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from any existing finishes or contaminants. For best results, sand the wood to a smooth finish and wipe away dust. Stir the dye thoroughly before application.
Application: Apply evenly with a brush, cloth, or sponge. For a deeper color, apply additional coats once the previous coat is dry. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Compatibility: This wood dye is designed for use on all types of new bare wood or stripped wood. It must be over-coated with any Rustins wood finishes, such as varnishes, lacquers, or oils, to protect the color and the wood.
Care: Keep the container tightly closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Clean application tools with water immediately after use.
