- Try to show how to color wood red using the best red stain by mixing red dye with a touch of yellow from the Keda Dye kit. Keda Dye is known for their premium wood dye, and is one of the best wood dyes in the World. Video also tries to show how using different grit sandpapers you can achieve different red dye colors on wood ranging from Pink stain to a deep bright red stain.
This is a super easy red dye color to achieve. It is incredible how much flexibility the Keda Dye 5 wood dye colors kit has. Sanding with a 150 grit grit creates a very vibrant red, and sanding with a 220 - 320 grit creates a gorgeous coral pink stain color. Keda Dye does create a gorgeous, beautiful red wood coloring option, that I truly believe is one of the best wood stains available anywhere.
Wood used in this red dye video was hard Maple that has some slight figuring, and was sanded to 150 grit for the Red Dye side, and 220 grit for the hot pink or coral pink side.
Red Dye ratio was:
1 oz water
3 oz Rubbing Alcohol (or dyes can be mixed into all water)
1/4th Tsp Red Dye (0.75 - 0.85 Grams by weight)
half small pea size of Yellow Dye
Applied Red Stain to wood with cotton cloth, and sealed this red wood formuation with Krylon Triple Thick Glaze To show that Keda Dye works with just about any type of wood sealer.

Thank you i couldn't find a draco with this color so im doing this to my micro draco
How did it turn out? I am about to do my zpap92 today
I'm trying to bring out the figure and all of the tiger stripes on my Zpap m70 maple furniture. How did this dye work for you guys? I know there are alot of other dye products but some are a little pricey and I don't think I need that much. This is about the cheapest multi-color kit I could find.
I'm glad I watched this video. This is much stronger than the directions that come with the kit. Using these directions I got something closer to red and not a light pink. Thanks.
Nice job, great color. I like how the dyes give the wood a 3-D effect. Very pretty.
Thanks for the video. I've been playing with my Keda Dye powder kit. Getting better at it! And the videos help out too! Thanks again, Pam
So happy I could help out :) Plus is one less I owe CZcams University Haha 👍
Wow, that looks really translucent. Beautiful.
Gorgeous. The red is what I want for my speaker cabinets
Thanks! All the instruction I need!
That is beautiful!!
Not sure if you’ve ever covered this, but I’ve had really good luck with using CMYK values to mix powdered dyes. I just measure out each color acccording to it’s value in grams. For the black, I start out light and increase it gradually until I get my desired shade. It’s not exact, but it’s really close.
Also, i found that using denatured alcohol on red oak works better than water because the water based mixture doesn’t get into the deep grain.
Hope this info helps! Thanks for a great product.
Great video!!! i wish i could get my maple wood to pop like your did!!
Looks great !! Great job on these video's again !! :)
Thank you Terry! Saw your premiere last night, I know it was just for me hahaha, but was trying to finish up my breakfast bar lol. I am not actually doing a video on that one. I just wanted to get it done, but now that it is done...sigh... I wish I would have videoed it hahaha such is life eh? Although if I would have, I probably would still be working on it
Oh ... thats no problem ... it wasnt anything special then a comedicial play on the new feature.
And yeah I bet that would have looked great on video !! :)
Well done! I would love to see more on how to use your dyes with pine, because of two reasons: pine is notoriously bad for blotching so it would be nice to fer a feel for how much blotching the dyes do, and also to see how well it works with a preconditioner.
looks great！ thanks for your sharing
Awesome I always wondered if you could stain bright red blue or green without hiding the wood grain
Thanks a lot! Very very useful video
Happy to hear this video was helpful! Thank you so much for watching 👍
Good job! Looks awesome! Does it UV resistant?. Looking made gate panels.
Have you tried other clear coats? Looking for a clear coat that is not tacky/sticky. Dying some boards that will be racks for some kayaks and durability is important. Any suggestions? Definitely don't want sticky but rather hard and slick once dried. Thanks for any help.
It looks amazing! I am going to be using the same kit on an unfinished guitar I'm getting. Is there any way you can do a video on how to get a nice green color?
Hope this emerald green stain dye one helps out: czcams.com/video/ssJPIOQMB0E/video.html
Just made at nice piece using the red and yellow to make a custom fireman's tribute bottle opener plaque. I used the krylon triple thick glaze but after getting the look I wanted and leaving it over the weekend, I came back and when I went to grab it I still left figure prints. What would be a good way to cure the piece so I won't leave fingerprints?
Wow, this is amazing.
Thank you so much for putting these videos online, I just got my Keda powder dye kit and was thinking through the process. I'll be dying a panel that I made from 7" wide 1/42'nd inch thick curly maple veneer. Do you think that the junction where the veneer pieces meet will absorb more dye? I'm afraid that I'll have vertical stripes....
Again, thank you!
Jon
I don't think that will be an issue. It may pickup a little more on end grains, but you can always use the damp cloth that you applied the red stain dye with to go over that area and blend areas in that may have a bit of excess. It will blend in pretty easily for that. However, I have never seen veneer splices pick up extra wood coloring, so I don't see that being an issue. Thank you for watching! Really appreciate it 👍
Thank You @@KedaWoodDye!!! I appreciate your sharing your knowledge, it's on to sanding & staining!!!
Best Regards,
Jon
I found this very interesting - thanks for posting! It's so great the way we can all learn from each other. I'm about to embark on a renovation of a kidney shaped chest. I want to have the entire thing coated in wood fornir so that I can do a stain, and a dark cherry red would match other furniture in the living room. Have you ever tried staining wood first with a steel wool+vinegar stain, and then over that doing a color? I wonder if that would bring out the grain a little more by 'darkening' it with steelwool+V first? Your thoughts pls & tnx!
Now that's a unique idea. Did you ever try it? I could see it either being awful or awesome
What kind of wood is this done on? I have a pine project, would it look good on it?
Is it possible to get blood red with powder dye on pine and oak? Mine keeps drying pink. Do I need to add yellow or more red. Or would the liquid work better?
Is the triple thick glaze thingy a clear coat of sorts?
Will this work good with dying wood veneer? Penetrate through the veneer fully?
Could this be sealed with tung oil, teak oil or linseed oil without Amy issues?
Is the water / alcohol mixture better then Lacquer thinner ?
Will this work of mdf wood for a subwoofer box?
Can this be used on rosewood for say a guitar neck ? I'm building one right now and cant find really anything that looks this good
I used it on an entire acoustic guitar, turned out great
I have this 5 dye kit. How would you make a dark red colour?
Would like to see a video on how to bring out the grain with fire before the stain just to get an idea pls & thnx
Lol Do you have access to my Computer bahahaha Just Kidding of course. I am actually in the process of that using pine boards, and am doing a little different style and format. I am just going to pre mix all the colors and mention the ratios, so I dont have to use up 5 minutes of video time to show me mixing wood dye into jars. Hey thank you for watching, as well as the input!
I cant wait looking to do an oak dinner table and chairs to look like the shifter knob in the last video was the perfect color videos and stain are amazing!!! keep up the great work!!!
Have you tried using less dye? Instead of going back and wiping with alcohol to remove some, just mix up with less to begin with? Hope that makes sense!
hi.good job. i have any old front frop secretart desk and im wanna change the color to red mahagony color.can i apply keda dye without striping the desk. thanl you.
Wow! I’m looking for a true Chinese or Asian red like a restaurant. Could Kendra help me?
So, let's say I get the 150 grit color. Once it's dry, can I go to 220? I'd imagine 150 is a bit too coarse for what I want (perhaps. They're candy cane bandsaw boxes). I just ordered a whole slew of them on amazon. Any suggestions?
Oh yes you could go over them with a 220, but probably lay down a 2nd coat after. It really depends on the wood ;) You could go right down to a 220, but may need a few more drops of dye, or another coating is all. When you get to 400+ grit, things can get strange at higher grits like that but if you plan on going above 220 perhaps just consider tinting the sealer which has its points as well ;) Perhaps that will be another future video. 🫡
How many years do you think a keda stained piece of lumber would last outdoors without any sealer, wrapped in UV resistant polythene film?
Oh boy...that is an interesting question. Inside, probably would be just fine. Outside, rain may be the biggest issue, but to be completely truthful, I am not very familiar with polythene film. If the film keeps moisture away from the wood, I will say maybe 1 year, but again, that is not a very conservative estimate for the UV factor only since I am not familiar with that. Sorry about. In short, if the polythene film doesn't protect from moisture, don't use that with Keda outside, if it does protect from moisture, it will probably do better than a year, but will lose some coloring as time goes by. The Sun is one POWERFUL force, that really no color can really stand up against, unless it is a plant 😁😉 Sorry again for the lack of knowledge on that...I will need to look into that, as soon as I get this old building together a bit better 🤯😂
Thank you for watching though 👍😊
I have had trouble adding denatured alcohol to a keda dye-water mixture. The dye crystals do not stay in solution. Can you or Keda help? Is rubbing alcohol the solution?
I usually use rubbing alcohol for the powder dye and denatured for the liquid dyes. Hope that helps out 👍
Would this work under polycrylic?
Yes absolutely
Is yellow needed to make it that crimson of a red?
It really depends on the wood, the prep, wood moisture, etc. It doesnt hurt to have a touch of yellow on hand just in case the wood is being stubborn ;)
@@KedaWoodDye thank you.
@@KedaWoodDye so I did the mix as you did on video. Using Alder wood. Still a pink color not a dark red. Wood was sanded at 180 grit. Going to try to sand it clean with 150 grit. Its for a client. Wants a really dark red. A lot like the dark red you had. Is that possible with Alder wood? Its a guitar build.
Thanks for any info.
@@justbob9006 just add a smidgen more yellow is all. Alder is not the easiest wood to stain, but should be possible. Could also sand a little rougher like 150 or even 120, as well as apply follow up coat, but I think if you just add a touch more yellow should be okay. Otherwise....the red liquid dye mixed with lacquer thinner is a for sure hit for a tougher wood like that if that helps at all ;)
@@KedaWoodDye thank you for the advice. I will try it again. Will use 120 grit. And add more yellow.
Just used this Red Keda dye on my rifle stock and it looks amazing! Posted a video and I also have pictures on my Instagram. @z28papi
Hi. I’m building a lap steel guitar out of maple.
Dense wood doesn’t stain well.
So I’m going with a dye.
I’m a wood worker.
Questions.
Do you prep end grains prior to dye?
Once you dye the wood prior to coating can you sand without loss of dye in the wood?
I like the red dye.
