TT's Timber Supplies Spirit-Based Wood Dye is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professional woodworkers who need a high-performance solution for restoring furniture or crafting bespoke timber projects. This dye offers superior penetration to highlight the natural beauty of wood grain and delivers a professional-grade, uniform finish. Users should be aware that the product may arrive as two 500ml bottles rather than a single 1ltr container, and its fast-drying nature requires quick, deliberate application to achieve the best results.

No, this is a spirit-based dye and should not be thinned or mixed with water. Use the appropriate solvent if thinning is required.
Yes, while the dye colors the wood, it does not provide a protective finish. You must apply a sealer like wax or varnish over the dried dye.
This dye is primarily intended for interior use. If used outdoors, it must be covered with a high-quality, UV-resistant exterior sealer, though results may vary.
Clean brushes using a spirit-based solvent as recommended for cleaning tools used with solvent-based products.
No, wood dye reacts differently based on the wood species, grain porosity, and natural color. Always test on a scrap piece of the same wood type.
As per the product specification, the manufacturer may supply the 1ltr volume as two 500ml bottles to ensure safe transit and convenient storage.
This is often caused by applying too much product at once or working too slowly. Try applying thinner, overlapping coats and wipe off excess dye immediately with a clean, dry cloth.
Spirit-based dyes are designed for layering. Allow the first coat to dry completely, then apply a second coat to build up the depth of color.
Reduce the size of the area you are working on at one time. You can also lightly dampen the wood (if the manufacturer suggests) or use a slightly larger applicator to cover more ground quickly.
Before application, ensure the timber is sanded smooth and is free from dust, grease, or previous finishes. It is highly recommended to test the dye on a scrap piece of the same timber to gauge the final color intensity. Apply the dye following the direction of the grain to prevent uneven streaks.
Once the dye has fully cured, you should protect the wood with a suitable topcoat, such as wax, oil, or polyurethane, to seal the color. Clean your brushes and tools with the appropriate solvent immediately after use. Always store the bottles in a cool, dry place and ensure the lids are tightened firmly to prevent solvent evaporation.
