Stains / Wood Dyes

Looking to add a splash of colour to a faded piece of furniture ?  The vibrancy of a piece of furniture is often determined by its colour. Applying a wood dye might just be the ideal solution. We’ve a range of wood stains and wood dye available at Restoration Materials to bring your furniture back to life.

We provide a range of concentrated water-based wood dyes for all your colour needs. Liberon’s concentrated water-based dye is excellent for mixing with water or acrylic paints to dye your wood to the colour you would like. Available in a range of primary colours as well as black and white.

For more serious colour, we also provide spirit-based wood stains, such as Morrell’s Light Fast Spirit Stain.   As the name suggests, they are light fast, so will not fade when exposed to the light. Suitable for a range of application methods including rag, brush, spray and dip.  These fast-drying stains come in an enormous range of colours, which can be inter- mixed to create the exact shade you need.

If you would prefer to create your wood dyes yourself, we offer high quality crystals and aniline powders ready to mix with both water and methylated spirits. While these may not promise light fastness, they are ideal for antique restoration finishes. We can also supply pigments suitable for mixing with shellac polishes.
