Polyvine Oil Colourant - 50G - Taupe

You can use it with most oil-based products, including scumble glaze, oil stain, oil varnish, alkyd paint, and transparent oil glaze scumble. It is also suitable for Polyvine All-Purpose Wood Oil.

You can add up to 10% of the oil-based colourant to your oil-based medium. It's recommended to start with a smaller percentage (e.g., 3-5%) and add more as needed to achieve your desired color intensity.

The minimum drying time is 24 hours. Always refer to the specific drying instructions for the oil-based product you are using.

Yes, you can mix different shades of Polyvine Oil Colourant together to create custom colors, provided they are being mixed into the same type of compatible oil-based medium.

The suitability for exterior use depends on the oil-based product you are coloring. Always check the specifications of your base varnish, paint, or glaze for exterior performance ratings.

Store the container in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

No, this oil colourant is specifically designed for oil-based products and is not compatible with water-based paints or finishes.

Ensure the colourant is thoroughly mixed into the oil-based medium. Add the colourant gradually and mix vigorously until completely dispersed. Make sure the oil-based medium is at room temperature.

Add a small additional amount of Polyvine Oil Colourant (e.g., 1-2% increments) and mix thoroughly. Always add more colourant to achieve a deeper shade; it is difficult to lighten a dark mixture.

If the color is too dark, you will need to add more of the original oil-based product (varnish, glaze, etc.) to dilute the mixture. It is challenging to lighten a mixture that is already too concentrated.

This could be due to uneven mixing or application. Ensure the colourant was fully incorporated into the base product before application. Apply the tinted product in thin, even coats, following the grain of the wood if applicable.
