I have not used dye before and now will attempt to dye ash black with water based dye and use solvent base poly for protection.My question. If I dye the wood first I have better control of the color however assembly (which is before poly) could result in damage to the dye. If I dye after assembly I believe that the where the aprons meet the legs would end up saturated with dye and look bad. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rich
