Product Information

Full details

Liberon Spirit Wood Dye is designed for woodworkers and antique restorers seeking a deep, penetrating wood colouration. Its key benefit is its ability to easily achieve rich, consistent shades on both dense hardwoods and previously finished surfaces, with the caveat that it requires specific methylated spirits for tool cleaning. This traditional dye offers excellent coverage and can be mixed to create custom hues, making it versatile for various interior wood projects.

FAQs

Can I use Liberon Spirit Wood Dye outdoors?

No, this product is specifically designed for interior use only.

How do I clean my brushes after using this dye?

Brushes should be cleaned immediately after use with methylated spirits.

What is the coverage rate of the dye?

The coverage is approximately 8-16m² per litre, depending on the wood and application method.

Can I mix different colours of Liberon Spirit Wood Dye?

Yes, the dyes can be mixed together to achieve custom or intermediate shades.

What types of wood is this dye suitable for?

It is suitable for colouring dense hardwoods like mahogany and oak, as well as previously finished woods.

How long does the dye need to dry?

A minimum of 6 hours is required before applying subsequent coats or a topcoat.

Can I apply this dye over an existing varnish?

Yes, it can be used on previously finished woods, but ensure the surface is prepared correctly (e.g., lightly sanded) for adhesion.

Troubleshooting

Uneven colour or blotching

Ensure the wood surface is properly prepared and free from contaminants. Apply dye evenly with a brush or cloth, working with the grain. For very absorbent woods, a pre-dye conditioner might be beneficial.

Dye not penetrating dense hardwood

Ensure the surface is free of any existing sealers or finishes. Light sanding may be required for dense woods. Apply with firm, even strokes.

Tools are difficult to clean

Clean tools immediately after use with methylated spirits. If the dye has dried, try soaking the tools in methylated spirits for a longer period.

Colour is too light

Apply additional coats of the dye once the previous coat is dry, allowing sufficient drying time between applications.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides deep, long-lasting colour.
  • Easy to apply with common tools.
  • Allows for custom colour creation by mixing.
  • Effective on a range of wood types, including dense hardwoods.
  • Suitable for both new work and restoration projects.

Cons

  • Requires methylated spirits for tool cleaning, which can be a strong solvent.
  • Minimum 6-hour dry time may slow down project progression.
  • Primarily for interior use only.
  • May not be suitable for all modern finishes without proper preparation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and existing finishes (unless the goal is to recolour a previously finished wood, in which case sanding may be necessary to ensure adhesion).

Application: Apply using a clean brush or lint-free cloth. Work the dye into the wood grain for even coverage. For darker shades, multiple coats can be applied after the previous coat has dried.

Drying: Allow a minimum of 6 hours between coats or before applying a topcoat. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Compatibility: Suitable for dense hardwoods (e.g., mahogany, oak) and previously finished interior woods. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Tool Cleaning: Clean brushes and cloths immediately after use with methylated spirits.
