Brilliant Colour Wood Dyes. 8 Colour Pack. Water Based.

Bright strong colours and the plywood boxes for granddaughter's treasures look great. Arrived in small slide lock bags and didn't look like there was much. However at one gram per 100ml I could make half a litre of each bag of approx. 5 grams. My scales aren't that accurate but a level small teaspoon seems about right. I've given the boxes 3 coats and there is still lots of the original batch left. As you will see some colours are deeper than others but extra coats (which I'll do later today should solve that.Note that the darker colours are more difficult to dissolve so you need to use hot water. Also the colour is very strong - my fingers are still stained after a couple of days. I bought foam brushes rather than using bristles but even so there were splatters.Haven't tried mixing yet but that's the next project.NB Please note that the 0ne Star review is somewhat unfair and was given because the dye does not dissolve in alcohol. It VERY clearly states in the ad that it is WATER soluble.

I was surprised to receive small packets of colours but the coverage is amazing. Be warned it dyes everything it touches and I got it everywhere 😆. I use £30 of spray colour to paint one guitar, this dye for half that cost will easily do 16 guitars. It works so well, great colours. I'll be a customer for life, no hesitation. Highly recommended. Its saves me a fortune.

Love this

Loved this powdered set of dyesBe careful, you can overdilute too much. Add water sparingly for intense coloursReally easy to use coverage is greatSome of purples and blues look too similarDoes fade in direct sunlight even after varnishWarning.... wear gloves.... stains like hell

This is my first ever Amazon review. woudln;t normally post a review but just wanted to let people know that the pigments I was sent do not dissolve in alcohol. Nice colours and I bought this for experimenting before commiting to a project because it was spirit (alcohol based) it's not! Should have been suspicious that it would be soluble in two very different solvents but am a natural optimist. Tried dissolving in 99% etyl-alcohol (same as I use for french polishing) and it's been sat there for a month with most of the powder sat at the bottom of the mixture. Makes the alcohol very faintly tinted but definitely not usable to stain wood. Bit disappointeing considering the price but will use as a waterbased stain for future projects and the turquiose is a very nice colour.

Took a few tries and different experiments, but managed to get a very pleasing effect on some shelves I had knocked up. More powder to water ratio gives a deeper colour, like an ink.You get lots of different colours and the powder goes a loooong way! Worth practicing on some scrap wood first, but definitely gives a colourful coverage and brings out the knotting etc really well.Will buy again for sure.

I have tested these Chinese Analine Dyes, as well as American Keda dyes. The Chinese made dyes are far far far inferior. Keda dyes are extremely vibrant and the colours strong. It is better to spend triple the money on half the quantity of dye, as Keda dye is at least 20 times stronger. I will be throwing this stuff in the bin, because it makes the wood look worse than a dog's breakfast.

Love these wood dyes beautiful colours
