TT's Timber Supplies Spirit-Based Wood Dye is designed for woodworkers, DIY enthusiasts, and antique restorers who require a professional, deep-penetrating finish that highlights natural wood grain. Its primary benefit is a rapid drying time of 5 to 20 minutes, allowing for quick project turnaround; however, users should be aware that the product may be supplied as two 500ml bottles rather than a single 1-litre container, which may impact storage and mixing convenience.

This product is formulated for interior use. It does not contain the UV inhibitors required for outdoor performance.
Since this is a spirit-based dye, use a methylated spirit or a compatible lacquer thinner to clean your tools.
Generally, no. If the wood grain raises slightly, a very light sanding with high-grit paper is usually sufficient.
Yes, as long as they are also spirit-based dyes, you can blend them to create custom tones.
It is not recommended for items like cutting boards or food-serving bowls.
Due to supply variations, the 1-litre volume may occasionally be provided as 2 x 500ml bottles to ensure you receive the full ordered quantity.
Sand the surface back slightly or use a thinner to lighten the stain before the final protective coat is applied.
Work in smaller sections and ensure the wood surface is pre-wiped to maintain a wet edge.
Check for leftover glue or sanding sealer residue; remove by sanding the affected area down to bare wood.
Before starting, ensure your timber surface is sanded thoroughly up to 180-240 grit and is free of dust or oils, as any debris will prevent proper penetration. Apply the dye in a well-ventilated area to manage solvent fumes. While the dye is compatible with most standard wood finishes, it is recommended to allow the dye to fully cure for at least one hour before applying clear coats like lacquer, shellac, or wax. Store bottles in a cool, dark place away from open flames or heat sources. Keep lids tightly closed to prevent the spirit solvent from evaporating, which can thicken the dye and alter its performance.
