Product Information

Full details

The Liberon Palette Wood Dye is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professional woodworkers looking to naturally colour interior bare wood. Its key benefit is enhancing the wood grain's natural beauty while providing a base for various finishes. A potential caveat is its water-based nature, which might require careful application to avoid raising the grain excessively on certain woods. This acrylic dye is suitable for both soft and hardwoods and can be mixed to create custom shades, ideal for projects like flooring, furniture, and decorative items before applying oil, wax, varnish, or French polish.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this wood dye be used on existing painted or varnished surfaces?

No, Liberon Palette Wood Dye is specifically designed for interior *bare* wood only. Existing finishes must be completely removed before application.

How do I achieve custom colours?

You can mix different shades of Liberon Palette Wood Dye together in a separate container to create your desired custom colour. Experiment with small batches first.

What is the coverage rate?

The coverage is approximately 8-16 square meters per litre, depending on the porosity of the wood and the application method.

How long does it take to dry?

The minimum drying time is 2 hours. Ensure the dye is completely dry before applying any topcoat.

Can I use this dye for outdoor projects?

No, this product is formulated for interior use only.

What type of topcoats can I apply over the dye?

Liberon Palette Wood Dye is suitable for use prior to oil, wax, varnish, and French polish finishes.

How should I clean my brushes after use?

Clean your brushes or foam applicators immediately after use with water.

Troubleshooting

Uneven colour application

Ensure the wood is properly prepared and free of contaminants. Apply the dye evenly with consistent brush strokes or applicator pressure. Avoid over-applying in one spot. Sand lightly and reapply if necessary.

Wood grain appears raised after application

This can occur with water-based dyes. Lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper after the dye has fully dried and before applying a topcoat. Consider a pre-treatment with a wood conditioner on very porous woods.

Dye does not adhere well

Verify that the surface is bare wood and free from any existing finishes, oils, or waxes. Ensure the wood is completely dry before application.

Difficulty cleaning tools

Clean brushes and applicators immediately after use with water. If the dye has dried on the tools, try soaking them in warm, soapy water.
