Review: Excellent coverage and penetration, esp in soft wood, smells strongly....... - I have used these wood dyes for years and have always had good results. Please see photos. Just be prepared for the final colour to be typically DARKER than the colour swatch shown on the tine. If possible test out on some equivalent spare wood of the same type or in a concealed place. If matching is important I tend to look for s shade lighter and build up in coats to achieve a darkened finish. When applying to hardwood you will generally have issues if you try and build up several coats due to the lack of penetration. That can be mitigated if using a varnish to deal. I like to child proof type lid on these tins, they securely hold to product without leaks. Might be a little difficult to open though if that type of lid can be challenging for you. Please wear gloves and be prepared for needing adequate ventilation, not always possible if applying to a product that can't be moved. But do open your windows and create ventilation, this wood dye really does smell. The size and shape of the tin has changed since I used to buy these tins, the instructions and precautions on the rear is now more clearly marked and easy to follow. PLEASE read them there is good advice given there to use this dye safely. I have included several photos showing an old wooden box, bought cheap second hand, that will be used to store my soldering iron. The outside of the box has had two coats, the inside one. The base, you can see the before and after photos of applying one coat. I wanted you to see that as you can then see how dark it becomes with only one coat when applying on a very light wood. Brushes and containers used, note be careful of using thin plastic type tubs to pour any of this dye in unless intending to throw them away after, it does seem to melt very thin plastic tubs. I just use an old ceramic cup to pour a little at a time and then clean it out with white spirits after finishing the job. Overall I have always been most impressed with this range of wood dyes. Important points to note..... Ventilation is VERY important when using it and whilst drying. Wear gloves, I even wear protective eye glasses. Be careful with your choice of shading. Coats that build up that are often darker than you might consider. It is VERY easy to lose the grain and end up with a brown paint type finish if you apply too many coats of a darkening colour. It is easier to go darker, and not lighter. Hard wood can be challenging if more than one coat is applied, it can rub off, varnishing helps. Be careful if splashed onto clothes, this stuff really does stain...! Dries quickly to touch, best being left overnight before varnishing - if needed. Read the back of the tin.........really it is helpful. Happy staining and I hope that this has helped. Very much recommended, with cautions as noted above.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it water based? Can it be diluted to get lighter colors? If so, what should be used as diluent?**
A: Rustins make both water and oil based products, so you need to read the back of the actual tin you have. If water based, thin with water, if oil based, dilute with white spirit (or real turpentine).

**Q: Danni apply danish oil after dye ?**
A: Did not receive

**Q: I have a wooden fire surround but the colour of the wood is like a medium/ light beech colour. can i use this product to darken it up?**
A: I used it on untreated pine which was the architrave around my doors.  The doors are oiled oak. I was sceptical but did it anyway and the match is amazing.  It's a light oak. But will darken the wood if it's light.

**Q: I have a recently oiled oak veneer table, but i’d like it darker. can i apply this on top of the oil waxed table? will it penetrate?**
A: You'd have to remove the wax first if you waxed it after oiling. The rule is, if a product is oil based you can use it over oil, as they will blend together, if the product is water based you cannot use it over oil, as oil repels water and will seal it out.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good but you will need to ventilate
*by D***X on 22 February 2026*

I applied this to my wood dining table that was already oil treated. It went on like a dream and 1 coat used around a 3rd of the product. Before I applied a 2nd coat, I could see the colour was rubbing off in patches, so it will require a sealant. The colour is darker than three image shown but it really suits. The only reason I have given this 4 and not 5 stars is the smell which reminded me of a nail bar! Overall happy with this dye
