About this product
Description
Blackfriar Wood Dye is a solvent-based finish that penetrates deep into bare timber to enrich its natural colour, ready for a clear varnish or wax topcoat afterwards. It suits new interior and exterior timber, plywood and chipboard, and is quick to apply by brush or cloth, touch-dry within a few hours. Pick your shade from the options above.
Key features
- Solvent-based formula penetrates deep into bare wood fibres
- Suitable for interior and exterior timber, plus plywood and chipboard
- Touch-dry in 1-3 hours, recoatable after 24 hours
- Apply by brush or a lint-free cloth for an even finish
- Colours can be intermixed to create a custom shade
- 250ml tin covers roughly 7.5 square metres per coat on bare timber
Ideal for restoring the natural warmth of doors, skirting boards, furniture and other bare wood projects before a protective topcoat goes on. If you are matching an existing piece, colours can be blended on-site to fine-tune the finished tone. Because it is a dye rather than a stain, the timber’s own grain pattern stays clearly visible through the colour.
Good preparation makes a real difference to the finished look. Sand bare timber smooth along the grain and remove all dust before the first coat, since any marks or scratches will show through a dye finish more readily than they would under an opaque paint. Two thin coats generally give a richer, more even result than one heavy application, and light sanding between coats helps the colour lie flat. Always stir thoroughly before use and test on an offcut first, as the final shade can vary slightly depending on the species and condition of the timber.
