Polyvine Wood Dye

Polyvine Wood Dye is a water-based dye, perfect for all interior and exterior softwood and hardwood surfaces, such as wooden floors, doors, furniture and more. Quick drying and easy to apply.

Timber surfaces to be treated should be clean, thoroughly dry and free from dust, dirt, grease, oil or any other surface contaminants. Ensure to remove any oils from oily hardwoods and any resins from resinous softwood.

Bare or New Timber

2. Wipe the surface down with a lint-free cloth dampened with methylated spirit
3. Remove any mould or algae growth with a dedicated cleaner
4. Fill any gaps or minor imperfections in the wood surface with a suitable Wood Filler
5. If the timber is not pressure treated, apply an appropriate wood preservative treatment

Previously Treated Timber

1. Any old coatings must be removed by sanding back to bare wood or using a dedicated wood stripper
2. Then treat as 'New Timber' above

Is Polyvine Wood Dye suitable for my windowsill?

As a lightfast stain the Polyvine Wood Dye is an ideal for this type of project. The pigments are resistant to fading when exposed to light and as they dry quickly, can be easily overcoated using a Polyvine top-coat.
