Bolgers Walnut Crystals are the natural and traditional way to colour wood and may be used on hardwood or softwood and have no unpleasant or lingering odour. Our images are pine coloured with differing amounts of Walnut Crystals to water, showing the variations in colour which can be achieved. Simply increase or decrease the ratio of Bolgers Walnut Crystals to tap water to get your desired colour.

Below is the ratio used in the images:

Palest to darkest in 500ml of water: 12g, 25g, 55g,80g.

 

How to use:

Add to warm (not boiling) water or cold water straight from the tap. To begin use just enough water to cover the dry walnut crystals and stir thoroughly to fully dissolve. This dark solution can then be lightened to the desired shade by adding more water. Bolgers water based wood dyes may be used to further enhance the colour, with red, green, yellow or black being the more popular choices. Make a careful note of ratios used to help reproduce the colour again, but always ensure enough mixture is made to complete a project to avoid shading issues. Apply with a brush, cloth, foam applicator or by spraying. Areas of wood with knots, or an open grain, will always take more colour than closer grained areas and will, therefore, be darker in colour. Allow stain to dry completely before finishing with a wax polish, varnish or oil - drying time will vary depending on application method and ambient temperature. As a general rule allow 100ml of mixture per square metre. The more Walnut Crystals used the thicker the solution will be. 

NB: Always test colour on a spare piece of the same wood being stained and select a piece with knots (if these are present in the item being stained) to gauge the overall colour, as different timbers will give different results. When staining furniture choose an inconspicuous area on which to test the colour first.
