The TT's Timber Supplies Spirit-Based Wood Dye is an ideal choice for professional woodworkers, hobbyists, and DIY restorers looking to achieve deep, rich color penetration on their timber projects. This professional-grade dye enhances the natural grain and character of the wood with a quick-drying formula that minimizes downtime during finishing. Users should note that the tester size is limited to 3–5ml, which is intended specifically for color testing or small detail touch-ups rather than large-scale furniture coverage.

While it is possible to mix colors within the same product line, avoid mixing spirit-based dyes with water-based products as they are chemically incompatible.
No, this dye is intended for coloring only. You should apply a topcoat such as varnish, wax, or lacquer after the dye has fully cured.
Due to its high concentration, a 3-5ml tester is primarily intended for testing on scrap wood or small touch-up tasks. It will not cover significant surface areas.
Generally, no. Since the dye penetrates the wood, light sanding might remove the color. Only sand the wood before the initial application.
Yes, it is excellent for interior furniture, but ensure the area is well-ventilated during application until the smell of the spirits has fully dissipated.
You may have applied too much dye. If the dye is still wet, attempt to wipe it back with a clean, dry cloth to remove excess pigment.
This is common in softwoods. Consider using a pre-stain wood conditioner before applying the dye to help control absorption.
This often occurs in high-humidity environments. Increase airflow in the room or move the project to a warmer, drier area.
Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from old varnishes or sealers before application; sanding the wood to a smooth finish (up to 180-240 grit) will significantly improve the absorption.
