Dyeing Wood with Markers - DIY Wood Dye

In this episode, I test the theory that you can dye wood with markers. This consists of making a solution of alcohol and the ink from the markers for a DIY dye!

thought about this, came to check on youtube if its possible and how it would look and its perfect for the look i had in mind where the grain is popping and the color in rich but transparent.

That purple... saving this video so I can do this! Thanks for sharing the

[natishamullis-brooks]

Want a good purple stain/dye? I use Americolor gel food color, mixed with vodka and it has worked fabulous. As long as the finished project is kept out of direct sunlight, it'll hold the color for years, when protected with a clear topcoat. Try it! You'll be amazed and they offer about 60 different colors to choose from. You can also mix and match for your own colors. Best way I've found to stain wood, yet! 😁

[TheMurlocKeeper]

This was a much better result than I expected, to be honest, lol!
Not sure how it'd hold up if in sunlight too much.

I still think I'd prefer just sticking to India inks, which come in a greater range of colours, and you can get them a lot more pure.
I used India inks to dye a couple of Ikea stools, because i couldn't find normal wood dyes in bright greens and purples, lol!
India inks are a bit expensive though, but I think they're worth it.

Again...use isopropyl to water them down if you're afraid the colour might apply too strong to your surface....but I did not find this the case when I dyed my stools.
Wish I could show you a picture, lol!
They turned out so good!

Looking forward to watching this tomorrow as it could be very relevant imminently. 🤞🤞🤞

[steelsunpi]

Yes, was waiting on this since your Facebook hint.

And now I have a new way to dye.

[gearscarlos]

Thanks man, I like your videos and it’s getting me hype to start doing some stuff like a table and kitchen caddy for my griddle and bbq pit, also a desk for my wife

[mattwells]

Loving the purple my guy! Well done, also realy nice to see the difference in coatings

[MrTarHeelUNC]

You’re moving up on my favorite YouTube list. In my top 5! YOU ROCK. Not a fan of the nail polish, it’s not my thing but we all can’t be fashionable. I am looking forward to your next video. I love the sanding tool, the “Restorer” and will be getting one after Christmas. I’ll have to go back and check out your links for purchase. Thanks for the effort you put into your videos. You are awesome!

Cool to see how you can dye pine. I'm curious, would you be able to see how deep the dye gets absorbed? Mainly thinking if I carved on some, it would be great to still keep the color.

[cheifDeisel]

Great video and thanks for the tip.
I'm curious to see how deep the dye penetrates.

[HippyMonkey]

I do this all time it’s actually the only way I make and use alcohol ink, but I actually cut the plastic part of the marker cotton and I will use the cotton to stain my wood it does really really good. You should try it..

[tawneyaldubais]

How about trying alcohol ink or resin mica powder?

[jaredahrens]

saw something a long time ago for dying natural fibers you can use koolade as a dye know if that helps you or not but there you go hope it does and hope it works well

[Qthekat]

I like the KEDA dyes... but I'll have to try this. I have many old markers from doing Sharpie art... very cool.

[chelsym]

I love all the colors. You are a wild and crazy guy! I love it. This is my first time on your channel. I'm so glad I came across you. Your pretty cool.

[liveWiresAndLumber]

How long do you let it sit, my jar is dark purple, but no color

[fakeout]
