BRIWAX Water-Based Wood Dye is made using light fast dyestuff. This dye is suitable for use on most bare woods. Colours may be intermixed to reach the desired colour. Most finishes can be applied over the dye once it is dry. DIRECTIONS: Sand surface. Apply the dye to bare wood with a rag. Do not pour the dye directly onto the wood as this could cause a darker area, which will be difficult to remove. Work the dye over the surface to ensure an even colour. 250ml
