Can I apply dye to an Oak veneered door?

The door has already been treated with Osmo Door Oil. I have tested a small area on the top edge and it seems that the dye does actually soak in which surprised me. However I am more corncerned with whether the dye will affect the glue and cause delamination of the veneer?

Also are all dyes the same or are there different qualities, do some keep their colour for longer than others?

Looking at a Red or Rosewood colour, something like this: https://rothkoandfrost.com/products/rosewood-water-soluble-aniline-wood-dye-powder-1oz-28g

You need to check with the manufacturer.

It won't cause delamination, so IMO there is no point in contacting the manufacturer. However it usually highlights imperfectnesses and it's difficult to predict the result especially after the door was treated with Osmo.

Think I might experiment on the side edges. They are 10mm solid oak so can rub them down and start again if it comes out too bad.

Presume I would be better-off with spirit based dye rather then water-based, is that correct.
