More grey than expected but good, and easy to apply.
We wanted a feature wall on which to hang coats. The look we were going for was that it needed to look like it had been assembled from reclaimed wood.After a fair bit of experimenting, I found that staining with a dark-ish stain, sanding right back, then finishing with a light coat the Littlefairs gave the result I was looking for.If you look at the picture of the finished article, you can see the boards that are much more grey/lighter than the rest are the ones I interspersed that hadn't been pre-treated with a coat of brown stain first. Too grey to use on their own but good mixed in with the others.All in all, not too bad and easy to apply.

Amazing And So Easy !!
I'm so glad I found this product, it's amazing!! Our furniture has been totally transformed and it was so easy !! I just used a normal kitchen sponge to wipe over the wood. Quick application and quick to dry so further coats are done quickly too. I've so far done a set of drawers, a sideboard and a large bookcase, all with 3 coats and still have over half of it left.

Nice even coverage
Want to colour some wood a vintage Grey. Tried several products which were fine but look more like the colour was painted on rather than part of the wood. This dye went on easily and spread evenly. When absorbed into the wood it looked like it was part of the wood. If you see the photo, the bottom part was done in this dye. Whilst it is a very dark grey, this was the look I was going for.

AMAZING! Highly recommend!!
Omg this stuff is amazing! I recently upcycled a old cast iron table with scaffolding boards. I wanted to be able to see the grain through but wanted the grey look & this was perfect! I purchased the little testers first to see which grey I wanted & I eventually picked ‘Dovetail Grey’ you can see the colour before and after the black furniture wax over. I didn’t think I’d have enough as the table is large and I only brought 200ML but I was able to do a full two coats and have just under half left! Absolutely awesome. Highly recommend. Delivery was super quick.

Dense even coverage
With just one application gives a dense uniform coat of good colour. Easy to apply with brush. Waterbased dye but has taken coatings of spirit based varnish to give a hard wearing surface. Read instructions carefully before using to get best result. Absolutely topnotch product. Bought to colour a kitchen table made from reclaimed scaffolding boards sanded smooth with blemishes polyfilled.

Did what I required
I ordered this to stain plain bedside units, I wasn’t sure if it would work or not as the grain was minimal and had a laminate look about it.The stain is very runny but achieved the look I was personally after with 2 coats. The product dries quickly as well.I’m sure this product would work wonderfully on better wood with lovely grain.

Does what it should
Simple to use and results are as I expected.As people have noted, this is a very thin stain, it has the liquid consistency of water. If the instructions are followed you will get a very nice even coat. Depending on the type of wood your are applying it on and how dark you want your stain is to whether you will need a second coat or not.Having applied this to a hardwood handrail with a softwood fillet on the underside of the rail you can see the difference in how the stain soaks in and takes to the wood types. A second coat to darken the softwood was all that was needed to darken in further to match.Colour is a subjective thing but would say that on the softwood I could see a hint of blue as others have noted. This however disappeared with the second coat. On the hardwood it was just grey like expected.As this was on a hand rail we used a can of lacquer spray for cars to seal the product and to make sure we do not get the brush marks from using a brush on varnish.
