Liberon Palette Wood Dye

Liberon Palette Wood Dyes are ideal for dying / colouring all interior bare woodwork around the home, whilst leaving the natural beauty of the grain visible. Quick and uniform results can be achieved on large and small surfaces, such as wooden furniture, floors, doors, cupboards, window frames and children's toys. The dyes are available in a range of wood shades, which can be mixed together to create unique colours.

Ensure the surface to be treated is clean, dry and free from dust, dirt or any other surface contaminants.

• Any previous finishes must be removed and the surface stripped back to bare wood
• Remove wax finishes with Woodleys Wax and Polish Remover
• Remove any existing varnish finishes with a suitable paint stripper or varnish remover
• Fill any gaps or imperfections with a Liberon wood filler or other compatible wood filler
• Wear gloves when applying the wood dye to avoid staining skin

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

Please note: This product must be stirred thoroughly before and periodically during use and especially so for the 'White' dye. The colour pigments tend to settle and stick to the bottom of the tin and shaking alone is often not enough to dislodge and adequately mix them. We recommend the use of a strong mixing stick or screwdriver to thoroughly mix this product, taking care to ensure that the colour pigments are dislodged from the bottom of the tin.

If more than one tin of dye is required to complete the work, mix the tins of dye together to ensure a uniform colour.

1. Apply the wood dye fairly quickly along the grain using a brush or foam applicator pad
2. Wipe off excess with a clean, dry, lint-free cotton cloth before it dries to even out the colour
3. On large surfaces such as floors, avoid overlap marks by working on one small section at a time
4. A second coat may be applied after 2 hours if a stronger colour is required
5. More than two coats of dye may affect the final finish

Please Note: Caution must be taken when using water-based finishes over Liberon Palette Wood Dye. Keep brush strokes to a minimum as over brushing may lift out the colour. Do not mix a water-based dye with a spirit-based dye.

Once dry, Liberon Palette Wood Dye must be over-coated with a suitable wood oil, wax or varnish.
