TT's Timber Supplies Spirit-Based Wood Dye is designed for woodworkers, furniture restorers, and DIY enthusiasts who require a professional-grade finish for interior woodwork. This dye provides exceptional color depth and natural character enhancement through deep penetration into wood fibers. While it offers a fast-acting, high-quality finish, users should note that it is strictly formulated for interior use and requires careful application to avoid uneven saturation on porous surfaces.

No, this product is specifically formulated for interior use and will not withstand direct exposure to UV light or weather elements.
Yes, proper sanding is essential to open the wood grain and ensure the dye absorbs evenly.
Once the dye is touch-dry (typically 5 to 20 minutes), you can wait for a full hour to ensure the solvents have fully evaporated before applying a topcoat.
Since this is a spirit-based dye, it can generally be blended with other colors from the same product line to create custom shades.
The dye itself is not a sealant. Once the dye has dried, you must apply a clear topcoat like wax or varnish to provide water resistance.
Ensure the wood was sanded evenly before application or apply a pre-stain wood conditioner to regulate absorption.
Allow the initial coat to dry completely, then apply additional layers until the desired depth of color is reached.
Work in smaller sections or dampen the wood very slightly with a clean cloth before application to slow the penetration process.
Before starting, ensure the timber surface is thoroughly sanded, clean, and free of dust or oils. Use in a well-ventilated area to manage solvent fumes. As a spirit-based product, this dye is highly compatible with most interior topcoats, such as waxes, lacquers, or varnishes; however, always test on a scrap piece of wood first to ensure compatibility with your chosen finishing product. After application, seal the timber with your preferred topcoat to protect the color and prevent wear. Clean brushes or application tools using a suitable solvent, such as methylated spirits, immediately after use to prevent hardening.
