The TT's Timber Supplies & Creations Spirit-Based Wood Dye in Antique Yew is designed for woodworking enthusiasts and professionals who demand a deep, professional-grade finish for their interior timber projects. This dye excels at highlighting the natural grain and character of wood with lasting, vibrant color, though its quick-drying formula requires a steady hand and efficient application to prevent lap marks during the staining process.

No, this is specifically formulated for interior woodwork and will not withstand direct weather exposure.
Yes, it is generally compatible with other spirit-based dyes from the same range to create custom hues.
Typically, you do not need to sand the dye itself, but a light de-nibbing might be required after applying your first clear sealer coat.
A clean, lint-free cloth, a high-quality brush, or a foam applicator are all effective depending on the project size.
Once the surface is completely dry to the touch, usually within 20 minutes, you can safely apply your chosen topcoat.
Work in smaller sections and keep a wet edge by overlapping strokes before the dye dries.
Dilute the dye with the appropriate spirit-based thinner or apply a wood conditioner prior to staining.
Ensure the wood is sanded properly and all grease or sanding dust has been removed.
Before application, ensure the timber is sanded smooth and free from all dust, oils, or previous finishes. Since this is a spirit-based dye, it is compatible with most clear topcoats such as shellac, nitrocellulose lacquer, or polyurethane. Always perform a patch test on a hidden area or scrap piece of the same wood species to verify color intensity. For cleanup, use methylated spirits or denatured alcohol to clean brushes and equipment immediately after use. Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ignition sources.
