Troubleshooting
Uneven color application
Ensure the wood is properly prepared (bare, clean, dry). Apply the dye thinly and evenly with a brush or cloth. Wipe off excess dye promptly if necessary. Consider a test patch on scrap wood first.
Color not deep enough
Apply a second coat of dye after the first has dried. Ensure no incompatible finishes are present on the wood. Mixing shades may also achieve a deeper tone.
Wood grain is not visible
The dye might have been applied too heavily or left on for too long without wiping. For future applications, use thinner coats and wipe off excess promptly to let the grain show through.
Dye doesn't dry
Ensure the ambient temperature is suitable for drying and there is adequate ventilation. Check that no incompatible sealants were applied before the dye.
