HI Luke,
The accent strip looks nice. I know that when you try to remove the Tite Bond from the dyed wood you will remove the dye. It will need to be reapplied after you sand. A trick to keep the dye on the strip is to create a small v groove between the strip and the rest of the hull. Use a old kitchen knife that has been ground to a v edge. Round over the edge to create dull edge. If the dye migrates to the other strips just sand it off with some 180 grit paper. I have done this type of dying on my Cape Ann hull and it is different to say the least. If you have any questions email me.
Regards Erich.
