FAQs

Can this dye be used on exterior timber?

No, this spirit-based dye is specifically formulated for interior wood projects.

Do I need to sand the wood before applying?

Yes, for the best penetration and finish, the timber should be sanded to an even finish and cleaned of all dust.

What should I use to seal the wood after dyeing?

You can use most standard wood finishes, including varnishes, lacquers, oils, or waxes, once the dye is fully dry.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Since this is a spirit-based dye, you should clean your application tools with a suitable spirit-based solvent or thinners.

Will I always receive one 1-liter bottle?

Due to supply logistics, your order may consist of two 500ml bottles to total 1 liter.

Troubleshooting

Color appears too dark or uneven

Thin the dye with a compatible solvent or lightly sand the wood surface more thoroughly before re-application.

Streaking during application

Ensure a wet edge is maintained during the entire application process and work in smaller sections to prevent the dye from drying too quickly in one spot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Rapid drying time allows for multiple coats or finishing in short sessions
  • High penetration ensures long-lasting, durable color depth
  • Consistent, even finish makes it suitable for professional applications
  • Effective for both large restoration jobs and small custom pieces

Cons

  • May arrive as two smaller bottles instead of one large container
  • Requires proper ventilation due to the spirit-based solvent formula
  • Limited to interior use applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before using the product, ensure your workspace is well-ventilated, as the solvent-based nature of the dye releases fumes during application. Always perform a test swatch on a scrap piece of the same wood species to verify color intensity. To apply, use a clean cloth, foam brush, or sprayer. Once the dye is dry, you can follow up with your choice of varnish, oil, or wax to seal the finish. Store the bottles in a cool, dry place and ensure the caps are tightened securely after each use to prevent the spirit solvent from evaporating.
