Bolgers Water Based Wood Stains are environmentally friendly, non-toxic, odourless and VOC free. Our 50ml sample bottles are excellent for finding the perfect colour before purchasing larger quantities to complete a project, for colouring scratches and chips where the bare wood is visible or for small woodturning projects. Available in a wide range of traditional wood colours, these ready to use stains can be mixed together to create new colours and also diluted with water to create a washed effect.  Easy to apply with a brush, foam applicator or rag; they can also be spray applied. The slower drying nature of Bolgers Water Based Dyes means they are suitable for large areas like floors and panelling, where overlapping brush marks can be evened out before the stain dries. Once dry the colour can be dampened slightly and re-worked to eliminate any brush marks. NB: Areas of wood with knots and an open grain will take more colour and be darker than close grained timber - always test colour on the same species of timber.

 * Note on wood colours

There is no British standard of wood colours, which is why different brands of wood dye are different colours. Bolgers Wood Stains are not designed to be copies of  other brands and the colour images are provided for reference only, and screen resolutions will alter the colour individual screens will display. It is important to colour test on a spare piece of wood of the same species, or on an inconspicuous area of furniture. All our water based colours can be mixed together. As Bolgers wood stains are not copies of other brands a perfect colour match will be almost impossible - it is also worth bearing in mind that colours may fade over a period of time and become more mellow. 



Sealing Water Based Wood Stains


Spirit based varnishes, oils and wax polishes may all be applied over Bolgers water based wood stains. Water based wood finishes applied with a brush will wet the stain, allowing some colour to transfer into the first coat of finish.

------------------------------------------------------

Bolgers Walnut Crystals

Crushed walnut husks are natural, non-toxic and odourless. When dissolved in tap water a brown wood stain is made which can be varied by simply adding more or less Walnut Crystals to achieve a very light colour to mellow pine or be as dark as Jacobean Oak. By tinting with Bolgers Water Based Wood Stains in primary colours a whole range of wood shades can be achieved.

Bolgers Light Fast Wood Stain

A spirit based wood stain with a slower drying time than most other spirit based wood stains, allowing colour to be more evenly applied to large areas. The same range of colours are available as Bolgers Water Based Wood Stain (colours are not identical) with the colours having a more vibrant tone.
