This is the 2nd time I've used this stain. It's very difficult to use to get an even coverage. You have to work extremely fast with it. I don't know if it's just this stain or stains in general.
Exceptional service, which goes with product and price. Would recommend both product and, especially, Wood Finishes Direct.
Used this on oak-veneered ply -pleased with the result - 2 applications produced a good, even stain.
Mixes easily with danish oil for even finish
Great spirit wood dye that looks natural for your furniture
Love these spirit dyes, great for making my birch ply pyrography look much classier.
A great product, I use it a lot but water based stain is easier for people who don't stain often.
Easy to use and very effective for changing the colour of new wood - would buy again. The tin covers a large area if used sparingly.
A good product at a good price and good service. If you need help they are there to advise you.
Does what it says on the tin
It was really easy to use and love the result on solid oak door.
I am always very impressed with the level of support and speed of delivery.
Bought this stuff because I've used various water based stains and none of them give the full rich deep colour that I wanted. Used it on some Douglas fir Windows fitted in 1986 after stripping them back to bare wood. Finished with Impra external varnish also from wood finishes direct. Used the varnish begore 5 years ago on other windows, it lasts well only needed minor touching up this year. Highly recommended.
Does what it says on the can
Penetration in a hard, close grained wood like maple seems poor. Seems to lay on the surface and dry quickly and leave streaks from cloth or brush application. If, in the future, I need to stain maple, I will have to experiment with other manufacturer's products. Liberon have a good reputation, so this result is very disappointing and leads to uncertaimty.
Good Afternoon, It would be fair to say that the type, age and condition of the wood you are apply to will impact on the finish that will be achieved. How much the wood will absorb naturally will intensify or reduce the colour achieved. Pigment uptake with a hardwood will be less and so colour will not be as intense. Good, even sanding can also impact on take up and the high the grit you sand to the more you close the grain of the wood, this will again reduce uptake of the product. Test areas are always recommended and alternate stains include Manns Classic Oak or Pine Stains and Morrells Light Fats Stains.

This product gives a good even finish which I really appreciate. Used on many projects.
Liberons wood stain covers well without spoiling the the natural beauty of the wood. It has a long shelf life so even if rarely used it will still give you beautiful results.
Spirit stains work better than water based stains in my opinion
I carry out restoration of old heirloom furniture and Liberon products are used every time. I can match the existing finish very easily.
Quality, spirit based wood stain (walnut) was ideal for my task. Thanks!
Applied to a massive floor area covers evenly and colour was consistent nice rich dark oak colour finished with hard wax oil.
Much better to use than the water equivalents available in my experience.
The dye performed very well and is a quality product
i found foam paint pads gave the best results. touch dry in 20 mins. use in a well ventilated area though.
