Aniline Carpenter Pencil

LYRA Aniline Carpenter Pencil is a high-quality product, which is idealy designed for it's specific application.

What makes the aniline carpenter pencil different is the water soluble aniline lead which is best for light fastness, transparency of colour, accentuating the wood grain, ease of application, lack of lap marks and use under lacquer. They will not leave a muddy surface. They can however raise the grain and create a fuzzy look. Prior to staining lightly sponge the surface with clean water or a dilute solution of dye. Sanding off the raised fibers with fine paper after thorough drying will eliminate this problem. Proper surface preparation is well worth the effort.
