Review: Almost perfect wood dye - I bought this after trying several other brands, none of which gave satisfactory results. To my surprise, this turned out to be the perfect dye. It’s easy to apply and gives pine a warm, golden, slightly dark oak finish. Impressively, it doesn’t raise the grain, so there’s no real need to sand the surface after application. It transforms ordinary pine into something that looks far more expensive. You can use it directly without a pre-treatment, which results in a darker shade. If applied after a pre-stain conditioner, it produces a lighter oak tone. I’m genuinely impressed and will be using this for my upcoming projects.
Review: Very good but you will need to ventilate - 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

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than water based dye’s
*by B***R on 13 March 2026*

So this is about the best you can buy, some of the new water based dye’s dry too quick leading to a disasterous finish, this however stays wet long enough to be able to get a nice finish without any irregularity! Dries in a couple hours, doesn’t smell to bad and gives a nice even look, use a lint free cloth for ease of application
