Bolgers Water Soluble Wood Dye Powder

1 x 20g Bag

Please select colour from drop down box.

Add to 1 litre of tap water to make VOC Free & Odourless wood dye.

Colours in our image were achieved by applying two coats to pine, and are shown are a guide only; your results may vary.

An effective way of making your own VOC Free wood stains quickly and easily and in any volume. In their powder form Bolgers Wood Dye Powders have an unlimited shelf life when kept in a sealed bag/container out of sunlight. All colours can be mixed to create unique colours and can also be used to tint Bolgers Walnut Crystals. Enough colour should be mixed to complete a project because, just like stains and dyes from large manufacturers, each batch of colour you make will vary slightly.

How to use: Add 20g of powder to 1 litre of hot (not boiling) water and stir thoroughly to mix. Allow to stand for a few minutes and stir again to ensure all powder has been dissolved. Exceeding 20g of powder per litre of water may result in some sediment forming, this can be remedied by adding a little more warm water to the container before beginning to apply the colour. NB: do not add more water to the mixture once application has begun. Colour can be further diluted to create a wash effect. To mix one or more colours together make up a solution of each colour first and mix the liquids, testing on a spare piece of wood until the desired colour is achieved. When a deeper colour is required apply two or more coats. 

Dyes may be applied with a brush, sponge or cloth; application method will affect both coverage per litre and depth of colour. If a stronger colour is required apply more coats. 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 first. Spirit based varnishes, oils and wax polishes may all be applied over Bolgers water based wood stains. Using a water based wood finish reactivates the dye, allowing some colour to transfer into the first coat of finish; once this first coat has dried no further colour bleeding should occur. For best results apply water based finishes by spraying.
