Vibrant Wood Dye Liquid Offered in 5 Color Liquid Dye Kit - Solvent Alcohol Dye

I’ve used many wood dyes for years and have never seen a product do what this stuff does. I’ve tried everything. Nothing compares. It’s absolutely insane. I ordered a second kit just in case this becomes unobtainable. Please never stop making these products Keda. Much, much love.

These dyes are PHENOMENAL! I make custom wood burnings and use these to make a few spots really pop with bright colors! Great quality and you only need a small amount in water to make a range of colors!

Was Fairly easy to mix and apply but needs numerous applications to get the rich hues seen on the how-to videos that are posted on the web. A hue chip chart would be helpful to determine how much dye is needed to obtain the different shades of color purchased.

I was very skeptical of this when I purchased it, I was buying premade colored wood dyes by a different brand and it was costing me more than this kit. I was pleasantly surprised that I did not notice any difference in the color quality and will probably buy this again once I run out of dye

The best way that i know to describe the difference between a wood dye and stain is this. Imagine taking a napkin and placing ketchup (stain) on one spot and food coloring (dye) on another. Although both will turn the napkin red, the dye will allow the user to see the detailed intricacies of the print patterns on the napkin while the ketchup will obscure the patterns fine details while still allowing the user view the overall pattern. IMO wood stain is perfectly acceptable and probably preferable when coloring pine, birch and poplar. But when coloring woods that are sought after for their beautiful grain patters (walnut, maple, cherry) a wood dye is the only way to go. Just remember if mixing with water you will raise the grain on whatever wood you are working with, alcohol will not raise the grain of your wood. I was able to achieve the below pictured finishes using a four part finishing system. 1. I started by sanding the wood to 220 grit 2. i applied a mixture of eight drops of the Yellow Vibrant Wood Dye Liquid to 1 pint of denatured alcohol and applied three coats, allowing dry time between each. 3. i applied a mixture of eight drops of the Brown Vibrant Wood Dye Liquid to 1 pint of denatured alcohol and applied three coats, allowing dry time between each. 4. then applied a two coats of Zinsser sand and seal thinned to 1 pint zinsser Sand and Seal to 1 pint denatured alcohol. 5. I again lightly sanded to 220. 6. after cleaning the wood with a tack cloth I applied a coat of gel stain and wiped it off after about a minute. 7. i then coated it with Deft clear wood satin from an aerosol can. 8. after allowing to dry i wet sanded with 1500 grit sand paper and i ended up with a beautiful finish that is as smooth as glass. Again none of this would have been possible using a wood stain. If your serious about your finish, wood dyes are the way to go. And to that end I highly recommend Vibrant Wood Dye Liquid Offered in 5 Color Liquid Dye Kit - Solvent Alcohol Dye. I feel like this product has allowed me to take my work to the next level.

i have had good results mixing with water and alcohol. I did a tobaco sunburst and an orange red burst. As well as Blue over Flame Maple.I mixed red with clear Nitrocelulose Lacquer to spray transparent red over maple. still lots left over. there may be better products but this is all i have ever bought. and I am happy with all the colors i can mix with this set.

I have used water based dyes that raise the wood grain, but the alcohol based doesn't. And I love the ability to mix colors!

Years ago Keda Dye had a product called 'brilliant colors' including fire engine red. But since a few years ago I can only get these and these are more of a stain and have no more 'wow' factor. Very disappointed at the product change or discontinuance.

I used the cherry red with a bit of brown on the body. The tele neck was done with the amber yellow with a bit of brown to give it the burnt maple look and the strat neck was straight up amber. Really great product. I use 70% alcohol as the carrier.

Exactly as described. Easy to use. Easy to mix into custom colours.

There are lots of good “how to” videos on YouTube on using these dyes on wood. It’s getting pricy for what it is. However, the 5 colours give you lots of colour wheel options, though there is a lot of guessing and hence experimentation. It did a very good job of enhancing the Curley Maple veneer figuring. I was very pleased with the results.

Great dye. Makes grain pop!

Just want I need. Easy to use. Took almost a month to get
