    help! ive gone too dark with my flame top

    Hey everyone thanks for checking out my thread....so ive been using water based ink dye to stain my flame top.....but ive gone too dark...USED WAY TO MUCH INK AND WATER AND IT WAS STILL WET 12 HRS
    Im trying to get the color of the first pic...which was taken with a flash...the second pic is what it looks like currently

    I was wondering if any has had this problem aswell and managed to get it lighter...
    ive been thinking of using these methods which might lighten it

    - Polish with 0000 steel wool
    - 1200 - 2000 wet/dry (chance of going through the veneer though)
    - wiping with a slightly damo clothe (as their watrr based dye)

    Anyone have any ideas which would be safest and most effective
