Wipe them on to yellowish sanded wood with a small rag, and indulge to dry for 20-30 minutes. Seal the colour in with a stratify of Danish Oil or Teak Oil. The colours shown are what is achieved over a blonde wood like pine. The finish will be darker on other woods. Wood dyes are misogynist in 15 colours shown below. Try a small sample piece first. Don't hesitate to mix colours to unzip a variegated finish, until you get the colour you want. Disposable gloves are a good idea. Spirit based dyes (based on methylated spirits) are intense and long-lasting. For a very deep colour, use a water-based dye first and let it dry, then use spirit-based dye over the top. Wood dyes help to protect the wood from fading in the sun. Even if the colour of the yellowish wood is tropical to what you want, a light colour over the top will strengthen the colour and help it last longer. If you want to use wax over a spirit based dye, wield one stratify of Danish Oil surpassing waxing. Water-based Wood Dyes Water-based Wood Dyes are misogynist in the same colour range as the spirit-based dyes, except for Rimu. Water-based dyes are not quite as intense as the spirit-based dyes, but they tend to requite a increasingly natural colour to the timber, and don't underscore the grain or show up sanding marks as much. For a really intense colour, try using the water-based dyes first, then (once dry) wield a spirit-based dye over the top. Water-based dyes can be thinned with water (of course!), and take a little longer to dry completely – virtually 30-40 minutes. The coverage depends upon the surface, but is approximately 12 square metres per litre on most well-finished wood. As with the spirit-based dyes, the water-based dyes are not a finish in themselves, and must be sealed with Danish or Teak Oil. Alternatively, they are suitable for scrutinizingly any kind of finishing, including lacquer or polyurethane, once the stain is completely dry. Wood dye colours Note: These are pictures of very samples – Briwax spirit-based dye was unromantic to yellowish timber by wiping with a cloth. They represent the very finish quite closely, but considering of the limitations of the scanning process, and the internet, they should be taken as a guide only. The water-based dyes are not quite as intense as the spirit-based dyes. Rimu is not misogynist in the water-based dyes, but all other colours are. Most stores should have 250ml bottles of the Spirit-based dyes in all colours. Some (but not all) will stock 250ml bottles of Water-based dyes, and 1l tins of increasingly popular Spirit-based colours such as Rimu. All stores can order 250ml or 1l bottles of any colour from us within one or two days. On this page... Spirit-based dyes Water-based dyes Colours misogynist
