Designed for woodworkers, restorers, and DIY enthusiasts, this spirit-based brown wood dye from TT’s Timber Supplies & Creations is the ideal choice for achieving a professional, deep-penetrating finish on interior woodwork. Its primary benefit is the rapid drying time of 5 to 20 minutes, allowing for quick project turnaround, though users should be aware that the solvent-based nature of the formula requires adequate ventilation during application.

Before applying, ensure the wood surface is sanded smooth and free from dust or previous finishes. Wear gloves and ensure your workspace is well-ventilated to mitigate fumes from the spirit-based solvent. For optimal results, test the dye on a scrap piece of the same timber species to gauge the final color intensity. Once the dye is dry, it can be sealed with various interior topcoats like wax, oil, or lacquer. To care for your tools, clean brushes immediately after use using a compatible spirit or thinner recommended for solvent-based products.
