Product Information
Full details
This Polyvine Wood Dye in White (1L) is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professional decorators seeking a rich, even colour finish on interior and exterior wood projects. Its key benefit is preventing overlap marks for a professional, lustrous look. A potential caveat is that while white, achieving opaque coverage on very dark wood may require multiple coats or a primer.

Troubleshooting
Uneven colour application
Ensure the wood is properly prepared (clean, dry, sanded). Stir the dye thoroughly before and during use. Apply thin, even coats, avoiding over-application in one spot.
Dye not penetrating the wood
Check if the wood has a pre-existing sealant or finish. For dense hardwoods, a very light sanding may be required to open the grain. Ensure the surface is free from oils or waxes.
Overlap marks are visible
The formulation is designed to prevent this. However, if marks appear, ensure you are working to a wet edge, applying thin coats, and not over-brushing. For significant issues, a light sanding and reapplication may be needed.
White colour appears patchy on dark wood
This is normal for most dyes. For a solid white finish on dark wood, apply a wood primer before the dye or apply multiple thin coats of the white dye, allowing each to dry fully.
