    Once wood has been sealed it probably won't take a stain.

    Water based if too wet can cause swelling and presume using alcohol or spirit based medium should get around that.

    Have you tried the alcohol solution on scrap to see how it comes out compared to water based? If the same look, alcohol should be the safer way moving forward.

    Will try mixing the dye up today in alcohol base and test it.
