Overview

Colron Refined Wood Dye is a deeply penetrative acrylic, water-based wood dye with light fast pigments to ensure the colour doesn't yellow over time or fade on prolonged exposure to sunlight. Available in a range of attractive wood tones and easily overcoatable with any Colron wood wax, oil or lacquer

Preparation

Old coatings of paint or varnish must be fully removed by sanding or with a suitable paint and varnish remover
Previous wax coatings should be fully removed using Colron Wax Remover, and a scouring pad
Any discoloured wood should be sanded until an original surface is visible
Deeper scratches, dents or imperfections can be repaired using Colron Wax Repair Sticks or an alternative filler that is suitable for the project
Sand lightly in the direction of the grain taking care not to over sand or 'polish' the surface
Oily hardwoods such as teak, resinous areas and knots should be thoroughly washed with white spirit
Remove any sanding dust using a brush or vacuum cleaner
Wipe the surface to be stained with a lint-free cloth soaked with white spirit
Allow to dry thoroughly

New wood

Depending on the type and age of new wood, resinous areas and wood knots may require treating prior to staining and finishing.

Where a build up of surface resin is present, use a scraper or filler knife to remove the resin
Wipe resinous areas such as wood knots with Methylated Spirit to remove any surface wood resins

Application

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.

Colron Dye can be applied with a soft, lint free cloth such as the Colron Craftsmens Cloths
When treating large areas such as doors or floors apply the wood dye to one length of floorboard or a section of door at a time to avoid overlaps
Work quickly to maintain a wet edge
Application by cloth or sponge will result in a lighter shade
A one coat application is normally sufficient, but colour may be intensified and a more even finish achieved by the application of further coats
Allow 1 hour between coats
Do not apply more than three coats

FAQ

Are there still solvent based dyes available?

At the moment, yes. This is likely to change in the future as water-based products are much safer to use and are not harmful to the environment. If you prefer a solvent-based dye, have a look at Liberon Spirit Wood Dye.

Easy to apply

Used Colron wood dye to colour internal doors that had been dipped and stripped. We found it easier and better applied with a cloth, even coverage and no brush marks.

Excellent wood dye

I have used Colran Wood Dye over a number of years. It is easy to use and always delivers.

Great easy to use and the finish is great

A great product that is easy to use

Exceeded my expectations

I wasn't expecting it to be so easy to get such an even finish with a wood stain. I used a sponge for application.

Excellent product at a great price ?

Used to stain old floorboards and it looks fab! Can be removed easily, if you go too dark with the colour. Very easy to use with minimal mess.

Great product, easy to apply and looks good

Does Eaxctly what it says on the tin.

Found this item had to source but delighted to find it from Wood Finishes Direct. Easy to apply but i did have to apply three coats to achieve the desired depth of colour. Nothing to do with the stain but the doors the stain was applied to. The doors had just been professionally stripped. Unfortunately with the number of doors I had to stain I could only purchase tins of 250ml. For some reason I couldn't find 500ml tins. Also this is for Finishes and not the Refined labelled tins.

Great purchase from a good bunch of people

I have been using this product for years. Now these guys at WFD are fast efficient and cost effective.

Good quality stain, straight forward to apply

Spirit based stain, good coverage. Used on softwood, recommend a top coat of hard wax oil or something similar to protect the surface.

Excellant

I have order of you twice and excellant service and quality

Worked well and easy to apply

Good value wood stain. Easy to apply and the colour is consistent

Easy to use. Good finish

Great product. easy to apply, with a sooth, even finish. Dries quickly. Takes varnish well Perfect for the job!

It gave the desired colour

It was different in its application and not runny as it use to be, so therefore easier to apply.

The product is great, the service is dreadful

Brilliant wood dye, even better than the spirit based type.

Great stuff, use it all the time.

I have used this product a lot over the years and it is perfect for my requirements.

Very good

Delivered on time and an excellent product

Used many times over the years never had any problems.

I have no hesitation in recommending this product.

Excellent Stain for doors

Used this product to stain lounge doors, excellent product and good coverage. Would use again.

Very good. Consistent colour throughout application.

Easy to use both by cloth or brush .. no overlapping marks. Excellent colour consistency throughout. For woodstaining I will only use this product. Good quality brushes (I use Purdy brushes) add to the finish.

Very good - recommended

Great service and the stain was perfect match for our existing oak floorboards. Cannot tell new boards from old and easy to use.

Good

Have used this product on last 2 projects. Applied with cloth and then rub off excess. Can be quite difficult to match colours for required look.

Excellent coverage

Easy to use lovely colour and finish

Quick delivery time

Have used this wood stain many times for my wooden lanterns . Very good product as far as I'm concerned.

Great product, quality even finish very consistent colour which is critical

Consistency of cover, finish and tone are critical. There's no second chance when it's being applied over a wooden floor at Â£120psqm laid. Suffice to say, colron hits the mark. Perfect consistent colour across several tins on a large parquet installation. Don't bother with any other brand. Pay the price and get the result, first time.

Looks like dark brown slop but does the job

Stains very well after 3 coats and can then be protected by hard clear varnish - 3 coats on floors or 2 on other surfaces.

Very good product at a very reasonable price.

Needed this to finish a project as had run out, concerned that it might not be available as the original was purchased ages ago! Exact match and speedy service. Would definitely use again!
