Suggest you sand to 180 -220. Spray the surface with water to raise the grain.
Lightly sand again to remove the fuzz. Wipe with a just damp rag. Spray the dye
on using very light coats. Cheers, JG

I've had good luck pre-treating the pine with a glue size before
staining (using oil-based stains).
I keep my glue brushes in an old plastic cup full of water (topping
off as necessary). After a while, the water becomes a weak size
perfect for application prior to staining.

Distilled water is usually used to pre-raise grain when water is used
for dye.
