Wood Dye

Our wood dyes offer a simple way to achieve stunning, long-lasting results. Here are the top benefits you'll get with our high-quality dyes.

• Deep Penetration for Vibrant Color: These dyes penetrate deeply into wood fibers, providing rich, lasting color.

• High Color Strength: A little goes a long way. You can easily create bold or subtle hues.

Whether you’re dyeing furniture, crafts, or wooden décor, these features help make your work professional and long-lasting.

Our Low VOC Leather Dye comes in an array of colors and is designed for multiple surfaces beyond wood. This makes shopping easier and more versatile while giving you flexibility across different creative projects.

• Color Range: From deep reds and browns to bright blues and greens, the selection lets you match your vision or create unique blends. Popular tones like Mahogany, Oxblood, Jade, Turquoise, Navy Blue, and Red are available, and you can mix custom tints to achieve lighter or bolder looks.

• Formula: Low-VOC, non-flammable (no alcohol) for lower odor than standard dye

• Coverage: Apply in light coats; coverage varies by surface and color. To reduce color strength, mix with Neutral Low VOC Leather Dye rather than water.

• Compatible Substrates: These dyes are perfect for unfinished wood. They are versatile enough to support mixed-material projects where consistency of color matters.

• Finishing Guidance: Once dry and fully cured, sealing with Angelus 4-Coat urethane or Acrylic Finisher helps protect the finish and reduce color wear/fading over time.

With these specifications, you’re well-equipped to pick the right dye for your next wood project and get consistent, professional results every time.

We’ve put together a simple, step-by-step guide for applying wood dye. This will help you achieve a perfect finish every time. 

Follow these steps for great results.

1. Prep

To prepare your wood surface, start by sanding it with sandpaper of the appropriate grit to smooth out imperfections and open the pores for better dye absorption. While working, protect your hands with disposable gloves to keep them clean from stains. 

If you plan to mix or dilute colors, grab some empty mixing jars or bottles with an easy-pour cap for hassle-free blending and application.

2. Application

When applying the dye, start with wool daubers for precise spots or small areas, then switch to brushes for larger surfaces or detailed edges. Using eye droppers can help control the amount of dye and assist with mixing colors evenly. 

Take your time and gradually build up thin layers, which helps prevent blotchiness and keeps the grain visible. 

To speed up drying between coats, use a heat gun carefully to save time without damaging the surface.

3. Finishing & Protection

Once the color is dry and you’re satisfied with its appearance, sealing the surface becomes essential to protect your work. 

A urethane clear coat offers strong, lasting protection and is available in finishes such as flat, satin, or gloss to suit your personal style. If you prefer a lighter protective layer, an acrylic finisher can be a good alternative depending on your project’s needs.
