Overview
Manns Classic Wood Dye is manufactured from the finest ingredients and quality pigments, which in turn enhances the overall grain structure of the wood. Lesser quality wood dyes can produce a washed out or patchy effect.
These wood dyes can be mixed with other colours in the range to achieve 1,000's of new shades. The dye can be diluted with water to produce lighter, less concentrated shades and colours.
Please Note: This product is only suitable for interior wooden surfaces, and is not suitable for high moisture environments such as bathrooms and shower rooms.
Dyes can be mixed with Manns Extra Tough Interior Varnish up to a maximum of 10% to achieve a colour-tinted varnish.

Preparation
Wooden surfaces to be stained must be clean, dry and free from dirt, dust and any other surface contaminants, including traces of oil, wax, polish, paint and varnish.
- Fill any gaps or splits in the wood surface with a suitable wood filler
- New or freshly sanded wood can be cleaned and degreased by wiping down with methylated spirit
- Sand wood carefully to 120 - 150 grit taking care to ensure a consistently smooth surface
- Lightly wet the wood with water and gently sand the surface to reduce grain raising. This helps to achieve a smooth finish. (Avoid this step if a raised grain effect is preferred)
- Mask off and protect any surfaces and areas not to be dyed
Application
Always do a test area, including the final top coat finish (varnish, wax or oil), before starting any project to assess product suitability, colour and final finish.
Manns Wood Dyes are very easy to apply and have a good open time which helps to keep a wet edge, allowing time for tidying up runs and puddles.
- Mix the wood dye thoroughly before and periodically during use
- This product can be applied using a synthetic bristle brush, sponge, foam applicator or spray gun
- A foam sponge is highly recommended when working on large flat pieces, as any heavily stained areas can be soaked up by the sponge as you work. Similarly by applying a little more pressure, more of the wood dye can be released to save time returning to the container for more
- Apply a generous coat in the direction of the wood grain leaving a little on the surface and wipe off any excess dye as you go with a clean, lint-free cloth
- Denib (lightly sand) using a fine finishing pad or steel wool
- Take care to remove all traces of sanding dust with a vacuum cleaner before sealing the dye with a suitable top coat
- Allow the dye to fully dry before applying the top coat
Finishing
Manns Classic Wood Dye must be sealed with a top coat system such as a wood varnish, wood oil or wood wax.
