Troubleshooting

Uneven color application

Ensure the wood surface is uniformly prepared and free from contaminants. Apply the dye in thin, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats. Avoid over-application in one go.

Color not deep enough

Apply additional thin coats of the dye. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next. Consider mixing shades for a richer tone if desired.

Wood grain is not visible

Ensure you are applying the dye thinly. If excessive dye has been applied, it may obscure the grain. For future applications, focus on thin, even coats and test on a spare piece of wood first.

Finish not adhering properly

Verify that the dye is completely dry before applying the top coat. Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepared before dye application, and that the subsequent finish is compatible with dyed wood.
