Manns Classic Wood Dye

Yes perfect for my project and ordered more

My order arrived very quickly! I used 3 coats on the picture frame and each coat was more iridescent than the last - tones of dark green/blue/purple but a final coat of varnish and I had an inky blue and could still see the wood grain. Perfect!!!

Did exactly what i needed it to do. Very happy customer

Great product fast delivery it did the job perfectly

Just what I was looking for. I wanted something that kept the wood looking as natural as possible and with minimal sheen and this was it. Very pleased with the results and would definitely buy again.

Good quality, a fair bit thicker than the other colours

Excellent product, a good result every time.

Lovely bright blue colour, just like the picture. It got more intense as more coats were put on. It was easy to put on with paintbrush and sponge, spreading evenly, making it easy to decide how many coats to put on to get the colour wanted.

The stain was excellent in that it was a good solid opaque finish. The varnish worked brilliantly giving a very durable hard finish without looking unnatural. All the auxiliaries, like finishing pads, filler etc were top quality. Quite pricey, but well worth it. Great service too!

After talking to folk in the know regarding wood stains, Manns was recommended to me by professional user of product. I used a combination of black and blue Classic Wood Dye to stain my new kitchen cabinets with stunning results. Following dyeing, I sealed the wood/stain with a matt oil and very pleased with my choice of Manns product.

On pine this comes out a bit like Ford performance blue, very very deep and bright blue with hues of purple pink. I wish the purple bits stayed but they fade a bit under the lacquer topcoat. Nice and easy to apply and looks amazing finished. I use this and the black coloured dye regularly.

I tried to achieve a red mahogany stain(using a branded product) on hardwood windows but the finish was more deep purple. I used Manns classic red wood dye as a base coat (2 coats) onto the natural hard wood and then one coat of branded red mahogany wood dye, The red wood dye gave an excellent red base to achieve a mahogany finish with a wonderful red tint. Fantastic result.

I got a sample pot of blue wood dye for the electric guitar body I carved. It wasn't expensive and looks great (lots of people have asked about it). I was able to get a recommended compatible varnish from the same place.

I ordered the black sample along with bright red and high gloss interior varnish. On the test bit of wood I have done to test the colour they look great. I will most likely be buying a full bottle of each when I come to finish my project.

Did what I wanted it to do.

Excellent advice, product and service. Many thanks.

It dye the wood black and that was what I wanted to happy with product. But do wear gloves as it does the same to your fingers

as a Waterbased product I though this isn't going to work but after following the simple instructions I was amazed and how easy it went on two coats was plenty for my project and wot a Finnish it is.i would recommend this to anyone that wants to see the wood grain through a stain.

Strong, robust colour best applied by cloth as using a brush tends to spray it everywhere. I found that the stain was not fixed buy Tung oil and had to use a chemical based product to achieve stability. Easy to get different shades by adding water. Although it goes on as a deep shade, it will lighten when it dries.

Great dye, that goes far, and is very easy to apply, with either brush or pad. Give a really nice finish. Can be easily mixed with another colour, to reach the colour you want. Finish off with wax or oil and it transforms your piece of pine.😊

Used this to stain some plywood for stools I made. Simple application and excellent results.

Used to make effective colour match on new boards laid in old floor. Added to depth of tone.

I have used both waterbased and nonwater based products and find them useful in different ways they do exactly what it says on the can so to speak but at a very reasonable price Manns stains can be bought in small or large amounts which suits me just fine

Works very well with 2 coats. Must be aware that using a water based varnish to overcoat can lift the dye.

Easy to use wood dye, sinks into the surface of the wood, dries quickly and with three or so coats gives good deep black cover. When it is dry the black does have a slightly chalky finish and rubs off on your fingers so needs coating with oil to prevent this. I used Danish oil. Very happy with finish, easier to do than painting.

Does what it says on the bottle

This is a wood dye suitable for use on children's toys. If the web based instructions are followed it works well, exactly as described. I used it to renovate the hat and tail of a ride on wooden elephant for a toddler. After two coats it dried a brilliant colour red, just right. Because the rest of the toy was being varnished I varnished over the dye too but that is not essential. I am happy to recommend this product.

When added to water this dye is perfect for bringing out the gran before applications of other colours. Needs to be used diluted because as a neat colour it will be too much for the wood. However, for a deep black/Ebony finish, this does the job, perfectly.

Easy to use, mixes well with other dyes to create a greater range of colours including white dyes which allows for greater variations of blue.

The perfect dye for mixing with other colours to create new and exciting shades.
