TT's Timber Supplies Spirit-Based Wood Dye is designed for woodworkers, antique restorers, and DIY enthusiasts who require a professional-grade finish with vibrant color saturation. Its primary benefit is deep fiber penetration and a rapid drying time, which significantly speeds up project completion; however, users should note that the solvent-based nature requires adequate ventilation during application to manage fumes.

No, this product is specifically formulated for interior woodwork and may fade or degrade if exposed to exterior elements.
Since this is a spirit-based product, you should clean your brushes using methylated spirits or a dedicated brush cleaner.
Yes, proper surface preparation is essential. Sanding ensures the pores are open and the dye absorbs evenly.
It is not recommended to mix this dye with non-compatible stains; always test compatibility on a sample piece first.
While the dye dries to the touch in 5-20 minutes, it is best to wait at least 30-60 minutes to ensure full solvent evaporation before applying a topcoat.
Ensure the wood surface was sanded uniformly and wipe away excess dye quickly using a clean, lint-free cloth.
Thin the spirit-based dye slightly with a compatible solvent before further application, or wipe the wood with a damp cloth beforehand to raise the grain.
Ensure the application area has sufficient ventilation and lower humidity levels.
Before applying the dye, ensure the wood surface is sanded smooth and completely free of dust, oils, or waxes, as these can block penetration. Always test the dye on a scrap piece of the same wood species to verify the final color. During application, wear gloves and eye protection in a space with high airflow. Once the dye has dried, the wood should be sealed with a suitable topcoat—such as a lacquer, varnish, or oil—to protect the finish from moisture and UV degradation. Store the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry area away from direct flame or high heat sources.
