Yes. Polyvine Wood Dye colours can be intermixed. Mixing colours allows you to create a much wider range of shades and gives greater control over the final colour of the timber. When mixing colours, make sure enough product is prepared to complete the project. If more than one container is required, we recommend mixing the contents together in a clean container to ensure a uniform colour.

Yes. This Wood Dye can be diluted with water to create a lighter shade. This can be particularly useful when you want to subtly enhance the natural colour of the timber rather than create a deeper, more intense stain. Always test the diluted colour before applying it to the complete project.

Polyvine Wood Dye is formulated for minimum grain raising. As with any water-based product applied to timber, the condition and preparation of the wood can affect the final surface. For the smoothest result, prepare and sand the timber thoroughly before applying the dye and remove all sanding dust.

For a lighter colour, one coat may be sufficient. If you want a stronger or deeper colour, we recommend applying a second coat after approximately 4 hours. The number of coats required will depend on the wood, its porosity, the colour selected and the depth of colour you want to achieve.

This Wood Dye is a quick-drying. The drying time is approximately 45 minutes but can 1–2 hours, depending on conditions. The recommended re-coat time is approximately 4 hours. Temperature, humidity, ventilation, application thickness and the type of timber can all affect drying time.

The Wood Dye provides coverage of approximately 10–20 square metres per litre, depending on the surface and its absorbency. Porous timber may require more product than a smooth, less absorbent surface.

The final appearance of Polyvine Wood Dye will vary depending on the type, colour and grain of the timber. Hardwoods and softwoods can absorb the dye differently, while differences in grain and porosity can also affect the final colour. For this reason, always apply the product to a spare or inconspicuous area first to check the colour and compatibility before treating the whole surface.

The surface should be free from previous finishes, wax, oil, grease and dust before applying the Wood Dye. Existing finishes should therefore be removed and the timber properly prepared first.
