Product Information

Full details

The Liberon Palette Wood Dye in Medium Oak is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals looking to add a natural-looking, water-based colour to interior bare woodwork. Its key benefit is providing quick, uniform colouring that allows the wood grain to show through, enhancing furniture, floors, and doors before topcoat application. A potential caveat is that it requires a topcoat finish (oil, wax, varnish, or French polish) for protection and durability.

What is the coverage rate of this wood dye?

How do I clean my brushes or applicators after use?

Tools can be cleaned easily with water immediately after use.

Is this dye safe for use on toys?

Troubleshooting

Uneven colour application

Ensure the wood surface is properly prepared and sanded. Apply the dye evenly in a single direction, and avoid over-brushing. Wipe away excess dye after a few minutes if necessary.

Colour not deep enough

Apply a second coat of dye after the first coat has dried for at least 2 hours. Ensure consistent application.

Wood grain is too prominent or blotchy

This can happen with very porous woods. Consider applying a wood sealer or conditioner before the dye, or use a grain filler.

Dye is drying too quickly

Work in smaller sections and apply the dye more rapidly. Ensure the room is not too hot or in direct sunlight.
