This guide is for DIY enthusiasts, artists, and crafters looking to precisely tint water-based products. The Polyvine Universal Acrylic Colourant in Teak offers superior color saturation and versatility, allowing you to customize stains, paints, glazes, and more.

Start with a very small amount (e.g., a drop or two per 100ml of base product) and add more gradually until the desired color is reached. Always test on a scrap piece first.
The product description specifies 'interior paint.' While it may work with some exterior water-based paints, it is recommended for interior use unless confirmed otherwise by the paint manufacturer.
When used in recommended small quantities, it should not significantly affect the performance. However, adding excessive amounts could alter the product's properties.
Spills should be wiped up immediately with a damp cloth and water.
When stored correctly in a sealed container in a cool, dry place, the colourant has a long shelf life. Refer to the product packaging for any specific expiry information.
Yes, you can mix different colours together to create custom shades, provided they are all mixed into compatible water-based products.
Yes, the product is suitable for use with water-based glues.
Add a very small amount more of the colourant and mix thoroughly. It is easier to add more than to remove color.
Mix a new batch of the base product without colourant and blend it with the over-tinted batch until the desired shade is achieved. Alternatively, start again with a fresh batch and be more conservative with the colourant.
Ensure the colourant is mixed thoroughly and evenly into the base product. Use a clean mixing stick and stir until no streaks are visible. For larger batches, consider using a mechanical mixer.
You may have added too much colourant. Try reducing the amount added in future batches or use a different base product if consistency is critical.
Setup: No specific setup is required. The colourant is ready to use by mixing.
Compatibility: This product is designed for use *only* with water-based products. These include, but are not limited to:
*Do not use with solvent-based products.* Always test compatibility and color in an inconspicuous area first.
Care: Store the colourant in its original container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use to prevent drying out. Clean up any spills immediately with water. The product has a long shelf life when stored correctly.
