Dyeing your guitar top

Easiest way to solve that is using a wet rag 12-24 hours later to take off some of the dye colour finish if it has come out too strong or dark and thus overpowering the quilt that was meant to be accentuated. Saves risking sanding through the preciously thin veneer cap.

Good to know, I assume we are talking damp to touch not wringing wet?

Yep, just damp and rinse it out in water after each wipe a few times until not much more colour comes out after each rinse as that indicates you have reached point of maximum absorption back into the rag or cloth.
