Hello Guys,

What dye can we use to color a natural Veneer (to Red).

thanks



Stephen Eden -> RE: Dyes for Veneer (Apr. 23 2015 9:01:34)

At a guess from the response you have had so far that no one here dye's their vaneers here. I must admit it is far easy to buy it ready coloured.

I know there is a guy on Delcamp that does it called Michael N. He might be able to help you out.

Thank you Eden !

Dying veneers is more difficult than you may think. A friend of mine spent a lot of time working on different formulas, methods, etc. and you can make it work if you're really dedicated. The most difficult part is getting the dye to penetrate all the way through. I tried one experiment of mixing some blue dye and cooking the veneers in a large pot on the stove. It resulted in little success and me spilling blue dye all over the kitchen.

Ever since I discovered this site I haven't felt the need to dye my own colors, but your experience may vary.

Somewhere I once read about using dyes that are meant for cloth and doing it in a pressure cooker.

hey guys, im also still searching for a good dyeing solution. after ordering some sheets of dyed veneer from different sources, which all look to chemical aggressive and doesnt suit my needs, i made some totally unsatisfying experiments with dye for clothes. lately i read an article by eugene clark which also covers dying veneer, but i didnt really understand what hes saying about it, just that it needs a lot of experimenting to get reasonable results (he mentions, that he had some success with Rit dye colours). anyway, have anyone dyed veneer successfully and would share his method how to do it (and what dye to use)?
or does anybody knows a good source for dyed veneer in small amounts which look natural and at best are available in different shades of a colour?
thanks and greetings,
ben

Is this for making rosettes? If you want to dye small strips for rosettes or purfling I found putting them in plastic tubes filled with spirit based leather dye worked fine. It took a couple of days for the dye to fully penetrate the poplar I was using. The advantage of the plastic tube is you can seal one end and cork the other to prevent evaporation.
