Product Information
Full details
This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and craftspeople looking to color interior woodwork while preserving the natural grain. The key benefit is achieving quick, uniform, and vibrant wood coloration suitable for various projects, from furniture to toys. A minor caveat is that it's water-based and intended for interior use only, requiring specific topcoats. Liberon Wood Dye offers a water-based solution for dyeing bare interior woodwork, leaving the grain visible. It's suitable for softwoods and hardwoods, providing quick and uniform results on furniture, floors, doors, and toys.

FAQs
Can I use this dye on exterior wood?

What kind of finish can I apply over this dye?

Is this dye safe for children's toys?
Yes, it is EN 71 - Part 3 approved, making it safe for use on children's toys.
How much area does 250ml cover?

Will this dye obscure the wood grain?
No, this dye is designed to color the wood while leaving the natural beauty of the grain visible.
Troubleshooting
Uneven color application
Ensure the wood is uniformly absorbent. Apply the dye evenly with consistent pressure. For very porous woods, a pre-seal coat might be necessary if an even lighter tone is desired, or multiple thin coats can build color.
Wood grain not visible after application
This dye is designed to let the grain show. If it's not visible, it may indicate the wood is too porous and the dye has penetrated deeply, or that too much product was applied in one go. Try applying thinner coats or consider a different dye formulation if grain visibility is paramount.
Dye not drying
Ensure the ambient temperature is suitable for drying (typically above 10°C). Check that no excess product remains on the surface and that adequate ventilation is present. Avoid applying excessively thick coats.
