When wood is dyed with aniline dyes, whether water soluble or aocohol soluble, is the dyed surface still a good surface for gluing or does the surface need to be free of dye in order to get a good glue bond?

In my experience you can glue as usual.

I agree..Most of my work.. I Dye/wash coat with shellac FIRST (Well, after surfacing) I then cut whatever I need for Tenons or Mortis or whatever..Never had a problem with final finish.. Well, cept for me!
Ring is right. Just dye won't interfere with gluing.
Thanks very much for the info! This makes it as easy as can be!
