Hi Henry,
WB dyes get into the wood fibers, therefore you do not want to use a
conditioner / blocker first. Spraying and not wiping is a great way to
apply them on blotchy woods. Although I have brushed dark ones on with
good effect. Oil stains tend to have the pigments which rest on/near the
top and a conditioner evens out the small amount of adsorption that
occurs. JG

I plan to use Water base analine dye on Maple. Sand to 180 grit or
scrape then wet,dry,sand to 220 grit or scrape. My question is do I
want to use wood conditioner before applying dye. With oil stains I
found a more even color using conditioner. A sample doesnt always tell
the anwswer.On top I plan to brush Rockhard Varnish which I have also
never used and would appreciate any words of wisdom.
Thanks in advance
