Separate the 2 halves of the pegs. Soak pegs in clothing dye or coat with stain, and allow to dry.
STEP 2: Silicone
Carefully silicone the pegs in pairs (back to back). Once the silicone has cured, silicone the paired pegs to form a circular trivet.
IMPORTANT
Colour can be applied to the asssembled trivet, but be sure that there is no silicone on the exposed wooden surfaces. Dye/Stain will not penetrate through the silicone.
TIP
Seal with a water-based polyurethane, heat resistant sealer.
