This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and professional woodworkers seeking to achieve a deep, rich black finish on bare wood. The Rustins Wood Dye in Ebony provides a fast-drying, penetrating stain that won't raise the grain, allowing for a smooth application of subsequent finishes. A key caveat is that the final color is influenced by the original wood tone and the topcoat applied.

No, this wood dye is specifically for use on bare wood only. The surface must be stripped to the raw wood before application.
Rustins Wood Dye is fast-drying. Drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity, but typically allow for recoating or finishing within a short period, often an hour or two.
Yes, this dye is a stain and requires a protective topcoat, such as a varnish, lacquer, or oil, to provide durability and a finished appearance.
Yes, all Rustins Wood Dye shades can be intermixed to create custom colors. Ensure they are mixed thoroughly before application.
This dye colors the wood and can help to even out tonal variations, but it will not hide physical imperfections like deep scratches or gouges. These should be repaired before dyeing.
While suitable for interior use, for high-traffic areas like floors, ensure you apply a very durable, abrasion-resistant topcoat designed for flooring.
Clean brushes and any spills immediately after use with water. For stubborn residue, use a suitable solvent as recommended for the subsequent finish.
Ensure the wood surface is uniformly absorbent. Reapply dye, working in consistent strokes and maintaining a wet edge. Ensure thorough stirring before and during application.
Apply an additional coat of dye after the previous coat has dried completely. Ensure the dye is thoroughly stirred.
Although designed not to raise the grain, some woods can react. Lightly sand with fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 240 grit) after the dye is fully dry and before applying a topcoat.
Test the dye and topcoat combination on a scrap piece of the same wood. Some topcoats can enhance or slightly alter the dye's appearance.
Setup:
Compatibility:
This wood dye is designed for use on bare wood prior to applying any Rustins wood finishes. It is compatible with a wide range of topcoats, including varnishes, lacquers, and oils. Always test on an inconspicuous area first, especially when using non-Rustins topcoats, as the final color can be affected.
Care:
Keep the container tightly closed when not in use.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition.
Dispose of any unused product and its container in accordance with local regulations.
