Question 1

1. What’s the difference between wood dye and wood stain?

Accepted Answer

Wood dye penetrates the timber more deeply and allows the grain to show through. Wood stain tends to sit on the surface and may obscure finer details.

Question 2

2. Can wood dye be used outdoors?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but you should choose a dye designed for exterior use and apply a suitable topcoat for weather protection.

Question 3

3. How do I choose between water-based and oil-based wood dyes?

Accepted Answer

Water-based dyes dry faster and are low-odour, making them good for indoor work. Oil-based dyes offer longer working time and are better for high-absorption timbers.
