TT's Timber Supplies & Creations Spirit-Based Wood Dye in Antique Yew is designed for woodworking hobbyists and professional furniture restorers looking to achieve a deep, professional-grade finish on interior timber. Its primary benefit lies in its deep-penetrating, quick-drying formula that enhances the natural grain and character of the wood without raising the grain or requiring long wait times between coats. A notable caveat to consider is that because it is a spirit-based formula, it dries very rapidly, which requires confident and quick application to avoid lap marks on large surface areas.

No, this product is specifically formulated for interior woodwork and may not withstand direct exposure to weather and UV rays.
Yes, for the best results, the timber should be sanded smooth and cleared of all sanding dust.
This dye is compatible with most standard interior finishes, including waxes, oils, and polyurethane varnishes.
Antique Yew is a classic, rich brown tone designed to give wood a warm, aged, and timeless appearance.
Use a spirit-based brush cleaner or the solvent recommended by the manufacturer to thoroughly clean brushes after application.
It is generally recommended to stick to a single product line to ensure chemical compatibility and color consistency.
Work in smaller sections and keep a 'wet edge' to ensure even penetration before the dye dries.
Spirit-based dyes are potent; ensure you wipe off excess dye promptly with a clean cloth before it sets.
Work in a cooler environment if possible, or use a slightly larger applicator to cover more surface area quickly.
To prepare, ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and sanded to a smooth finish. Remove all dust with a tack cloth before application. Since this is a spirit-based dye, apply using a clean, lint-free cloth or a high-quality brush, working in the direction of the grain. To avoid overlap marks, maintain a 'wet edge' by completing one board or section at a time. After the final coat has fully cured, the wood should be sealed with a suitable topcoat, such as wax, oil, or varnish, to protect the finish. For tool cleanup, use a compatible solvent or brush cleaner recommended for spirit-based dyes.
