I've been experimenting with dyes recently, something I've never tried
before. I'm about to get started on a first project with dyed wood
and I wonder about glue-up.
Can I dye a piece of wood and then glue it normally afterwards (i.e.,
yellow glue, pretty much like any wood)?
The dye, from what I've seen and what I've read, soaks into the wood
rather than coating the surface like a stain, and the surface of the
dyed wood looks pretty normal except for the color. So I'm thinking I
probably can treat it like normal wood for glueing purposes, but I
haven't seen this mentioned one way or another anywhere.
Advice from the group?

Mix some dye into your glue.

Yes you should be able to glue no proble,. Be careful with glue
squeeze out. It would be hard to sand and repair.

In my experience, yes.

Right! Pigment stains, and pigment/dye combo stains, contain a
binder, usually a varnish, that seals the wood. Glue doesn't stick
well to varnish. Genuine dye stains don't contain a binder.

Thanks, Barry and Randy, for confirming what I thought. (And that's a
good point about the squeeze out. I'll have to watch it.
