Strip: Question from Building Strip Planked Boats

Continuing on this potentially knucklheaded plan of dying a strip kayak but wanting accents undyed, I came across something in Nick's book that was curious. On the Petrel section he describes dying straight over an accent stripe, then scraping the dyed wood off with a modified utility knife.

My understanding was that as soon as you fiberglassed or seal coated, the epoxy would wet the dye and it would bleed over your accent line again.

What am I missing?
