TINTO DYED VENEER, ACCENTUATED BEAUTY

THE MAIN ADVANTAGES OF VENEER DYING OVER VENEER STAINING: ELIMINATION OR AVOIDANCE OF CHROMATIC STAINING / PAINTING AND COLOR IRREGULARITY:

NATURAL VENEER COLOR SHADE OR HUE DIFFERS FROM LOG TO ANOTHER AND EVEN TO AN EXTENT WITHIN THE SAME LOG AND AFTER STAINING, THE DIFFERENCES IN HUES REMAIN IF NOT WORSENED IF STAIN IS PREPARED IN DIFFERENT BATCHES,WHILE DYING REQUIRES BLEACHING FIRST BEFORE DYING AND THEN THE RESULT IS HOMOGENEOUS AND UNIFORM COLOR ACROSS THE ENTIRE VENEER BATCH.

DYE IS TRANSPARENT, STAIN IS TRANSLUCENT:

DYING MAINTAINS AND FURTHER ACCENTUATES THE NATURAL COLOR DIFFERENCE/VARIATION MAKING ALL FIBERS AND GRAINS STAND OUT AS DYE PENETRATES THROUGH THE WOOD VENEER VEINS AND FIBERS THROUGH THE ENTIRE VENEER THICKNESS WHILE STAIN IS BASICALLY MICROSCOPIC FILM THAT SITS ON THE VENEER SURFACE AND DEPENDING ON HOW CONCENTRATED AND INTENSE THE STAIN IS, IT FORMS KIND OF “TRANSLUCENT” FILM ON TOP OF VENEER AS OPPOSED TO TRANSPARENT COLOR IN CASE OF DYE.  

DYING DARK COLOR VENEERS WITH LIGHTER COLOR OR WITH ANY COLOR IS POSSIBLE WHILE IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO COLOR DARK NATURAL VENEERS WITH LIGHTER COLOR OR ANY COLOR.

FOR WOODWORKERS, DYED VENEER MEANS LESS WORK TO COLOR THEIR PROJECT SPECIFIED VENEER. HOWEVER, IT IS CRITICAL AND EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT THE DYING IS DONE WITH PROPER UV STABLE DIES AS WELL AS IT IS ESSENTIAL TO USE ACRYLIC BASED LACQUERS TO SEAL AND FINISH DYED VENEERS FOR COLOR FASTENING.
