Designed for woodworkers, DIY enthusiasts, and antique restorers, this professional-grade spirit-based wood dye is the ideal solution for those looking to infuse deep, vibrant color into their timber projects. The dye excels at penetrating deep into wood fibers to highlight natural grain patterns, though users should be aware that the 3-5ml tester size is specifically intended for small-scale applications or color testing rather than full-scale furniture restoration.

No, this is a spirit-based dye and must be used as provided. Mixing with water will ruin the chemical consistency.
This size is designed for testing colors on scrap wood or tiny decorative accents; it will cover a very small surface area of approximately a few square inches.
No, spirit-based dyes do not contain water, so they do not cause the wood fibers to swell or 'raise'.
Clean brushes with a suitable solvent, such as methylated spirits, immediately after use.
Yes, once the dye is completely dry, it is highly recommended to apply a protective topcoat like wax, varnish, or polyurethane.
Ensure the wood was sanded uniformly to a consistent grit and remove all sanding dust before application.
Work in smaller sections or apply a thin layer of pre-stain conditioner (if compatible with spirit-based products) to slightly slow absorption.
Ensure the wood surface is thoroughly sanded and free of dust, oils, or previous sealers before application. Because this is a spirit-based product, ensure you are working in a well-ventilated area and avoid open flames. To care for your finished projects, apply a compatible topcoat (such as wax, varnish, or lacquer) once the dye is fully cured to protect the pigment from UV fading and mechanical wear. Store the tester bottle in a cool, dry place and ensure the cap is tightly sealed to prevent evaporation of the solvent base.
