Q: If I brush on a final finish, will it cause water based dye stain to bleed into the finish on the brush and smear?
A: Water soluble dye can bleed onto a brush loaded with waterbased finish. Whether that will be enough to smear the stain also depends on your brushing technique and how aggressively you wiped the dye originally. It is also worth noting that some dye stains contain a binder that will prevent this. Others don’t.

Gentle reminder: A modest donation to this finishing blog can keep it going to help others. Thanks!
