Littlefair's wood stains are lovingly bottled by hand in the North West of England using the unique colour formulae created by Mr. Littlefair himself.
Our Special Colours can be used on all types of wood including sheet materials - such as plywood, MDF & veneered boards. It will also work great on rough sawn or rustic items both indoors and outdoors.
Black Black will create an instant, very dense black surface on your wood.
Police Box Blue both penetrates and coats new and old bare wood to create that Police Box colour.

Colour Reproduction
We endeavour to reproduce our colours and finishes as accurately as possible - both online and in print. However there are a range of factors to consider when comparing our samples to your chosen project: the type and condition of the surface itself may produce a slightly different appearance of the finished colour. Please bear in mind the shape, size and lighting conditions of your project. |
|
Please note: Our Water Based Wood Stains have a matt appearance when dry and come to life when finished with Littlefair’s Wood Finishing Products. We recommend finishing your project to provide the stained wood with extra protection. We do not recommend finishing Black Black with matt varnish as this can create a cloudy appearance. |
A range of Water Based Wood Dyes suitable for hand, spray or dip application
Mixing Tips
• Pour half of the contents into a suitable container and replace the cap tightly
• Shake the bottle vigorously, ensuring that any settled ingredients are fully mixed in
• Pour the remainder into the suitable container and stir as one - stir often during use
Preparation
Careful, thorough preparation will result in a far superior finish.
Ensure your wood is as clean as possible and free from previous finishes. Do not apply the dye to wet surfaces. Well sanded wood will be far more receptive to the dye, and this will form the basis for a good quality finish. Avoid cleaning the wood with white spirit!
Some ingredients will settle at the bottom of the bottle. Please follow the mixing instructions before every use of the dye.
Application
Apply the dye liberally along the grain with a good quality brush. Once applied, simply allow the dye to soak into the wood and dry completely. Avoid the temptation to brush it again at this stage. After approximately 2 hours, a further coat can be applied to increase the depth of colour as desired.
We recommend using protective gloves and splash goggles during use and simply wash out your brush with cold water afterwards.
Completion
The dyed wood will provide excellent outdoor protection, but it can also be further finished with a variety of our products depending on the desired result.
For Outdoor Use
Littlefair’s Superior Danish Oil or our Water Based Titan Topcoat will provide further protection and enhance the colour or shade. If applying the dye to decking, use our Decking Oil Plus+ for greater protection against wear and tear and maximise the UV protection.
For Indoor Use
Littlefair’s Superior Worktop Oil will create a highly waterproof, natural matt appearance whilst enhancing the colour or shade of the dye. Littlefair’s Extra Strong Satin or Gloss Varnish will provide a lovely sheen to the dye. Littlefair’s Clear Finish Wax Polish can be applied over the varnish to create a durable yet soft, silky feel.
It’s important to note that the final appearance will be a combination of the natural colour of your wood, the effect of the dye and the finishing product if used. With this in mind - always produce a test piece so you can properly judge the result.
