Palette Wood Dye is a water-based, acrylic dye for colouring interior
bare wood, whilst leaving the natural beauty of the grain visible. For
use prior to oil, wax, varnish and French polish finishes, Palette Wood
Dye is suitable for both soft and hardwoods. Ideal for use on floors, it
is available in a range of wood shades, which can be mixed together to
create unique colours.

Preparation
Shake
well before use. If more than one tin of dye is required to complete
the work, mix the tins of dye together to ensure a uniform colour.
Application
Apply
the Palette Wood Dye fairly quickly along the grain using a foam
applicator or brush. Wipe off excess with a clean, dry, cotton cloth
before it dries to even out the colour. On large surfaces, such as
floors, avoid overlap marks by working a small section at a time. A
second coat may be applied after two hours if a stronger colour is
required. More than two coats of dye may affect the final finish.
Important
Always
test the product on a spare surface or inconspicuous area for colour,
compatibility and end result. Different types of wood produce different
results.
Precautions
Do not mix a water-based dye with a
spirit-based dye.
Wear gloves to avoid staining your skin.
Caution must
be taken when using water-based finishes over Palette Wood Dye. Keep
brush strokes to a minimum as over brushing may lift out the colour.
Do
not allow to freeze.
