Perfect for restoring antique furniture, crafting new pieces, or updating interior trim, this dye offers deep penetration and high color vibrancy.

No, this is a spirit-based dye and should only be used as supplied. Do not mix with water.
Since it is spirit-based, you should use methylated spirits or an appropriate solvent cleaner to clean your equipment.
While it is touch-dry in 5-20 minutes, it is best to allow the dye to fully set for at least an hour before applying a topcoat to ensure no solvent remains trapped.
This dye is primarily intended for furniture and interior trim. We do not recommend it for surfaces that come into direct contact with food.
You can try to use a compatible spirit-based thinner to dilute the dye before application to achieve a lighter shade, but always test on scrap wood first.
Work in smaller sections and ensure you are applying a generous, consistent amount to keep a wet edge.
Consider using a pre-stain wood conditioner before applying the dye to help balance the absorption rates.
Lightly sand with high-grit sandpaper (320+) after the dye has fully cured before applying your final clear coat.
Before application, ensure the wood surface is sanded thoroughly and free of dust, oils, or waxes. Use a tack cloth to remove remaining debris, as any dust will negatively affect the final finish. Always perform a patch test on an inconspicuous area or a scrap piece of the same wood species to verify the color result, as different woods absorb dye differently.
Because this is a spirit-based dye, it is compatible with most standard topcoats, such as shellacs, lacquers, and polyurethanes, once fully dried. Wear gloves during application to avoid staining your skin, and ensure you are working in a well-ventilated area due to the solvent content. Store the bottles in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources and ensure the caps are tightened securely to prevent evaporation.
