An exciting and vibrant set of colours for staining wood, Spirit Stains are methanol based to make them quick drying and because of this they also will not raise the grain of the timber they are applied to.
The pigments used to make this stains are of the highest quality and all score the top ratings of 7s and 8s in the Blue Wool Scale, the measuring system used to rate fade resistance. This means you can use them with confidence knowing that the colour you apply will still be the same many years later.
Spirit Stains are fully inter-mixable so you can produce virtually any colour you can think of, giving you full opportunity to be as creative as you wish. The colours will also mix after application so you can blend from one colour to another for fantastic ‘flare’ effects.
Spirit Stain White is designed primarily as a mixer to create pastel shades when mixed with other Spirit Stain colours. It can be used to stain timber but as it is a translucent stain this can have a limited effect depending on the base colour of the timber used.
Should you want a more subtle colour you can dilute the stains with Spirit Thinners for a delicate wash effect.

A. We have not had the Spirit Stains toy-tested as we have been advised that provided they are completely enclosed within a toy-tested finish it is not necessary for them to comply with these regulations.

Great range of colours, can be mixed to give more! Also got the wood colour range.

I haven’t yet used them but my daughter, who is the arty one, reckons they are brilliant. The sample bottles are a decent size and the stains should last quite a long time I would think. Excellent value and I can definitely say the results are stunning – unless I have a go 🙁

These are great stains and work very well so no complaints there. However, I was disappointed that the bottles weren’t full, in fact several were half empty. Also the pack had leaked slightly, but was contained within the sealed packet. Nothing to do with with Yandles but Chestnut should at least make sure the bottles are filled evenly and the tops screwed on!

This was the second order I had placed as I had purchased one before just to try the price is a bit dear and you don’t get much but it does have a good coverage and if you want it darker you can give it another coat to get it to how you want I found it to be a very good product and it weather’s realy good to
All round very good the only thing I can fault it on is the price
