Natural Dyes for Coloring Wood and Varnishes in Violin Making
Our natural dyes are made from purely plant-based or animal-derived materials and naturally color wood and varnishes. They preserve the natural wood grain and create a warm, vibrant color effect. The dyes can be easily incorporated into varnishes and color the wood, making them suitable for both subtle accents and an even coloring. Eco-friendly and non-toxic, they are especially suitable for violin makers and restorers who value traditional craftsmanship and sustainable materials. This way, you give your instruments an authentic and natural appearance.
Ethanol (Alcohol) 99%
This 99% pure alcohol (denatured with 1% MEK) is ideally suited for dissolving natural resins themselves. This high-quality alcohol ensures the solution has no white gumming (streaks). We also recommend out 99% ethanol for spirit soluble powder colours. For varnishing we recommend approximately 300g-400g resin to 1 litre ethanol. ATTENTION - The 10 liter canister can only be shipped in Germany.
