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

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.

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.

Loved this powdered set of dyes Be careful, you can overdilute too much. Add water sparingly for intense colours Really easy to use coverage is great Some of purples and blues look too similar Does fade in direct sunlight even after varnish Warning.... wear gloves.... stains like hell

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.

Excellent. Easy to use, bright colours. Enough to make about 50 guitars. The turquoise especially is very bright(I only have it watered down/blended in, on my guitar to shade it in with the blue.

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.

Fantastic colours, but use with care because the powder is extremely potent so if you want a wash or subdued colour, add only small amounts till you get the desired tones. Once you have the tones you can mix to get the desired effects you want in terms of colours. I'm impressed with this and would recommend, with the above proviso.

This was my first time using a "powdered dye" as I had always preferred the "ease" of a pre-mixed version. I wish I had changed over sooner! Because you are able to control the strength of the colour, it means you can get your desired finish with a single coat, saving loads of time. Still got loads left, the deceivingly small bags go extremely far! Not sure why people are complaining about not all the bags being labelled, as with the few that are, it is very easy to deduce what colours each one is just by looking at them!
