Default Dyes and glue-up

I've been experimenting with dyes recently, something I've never tried
before. I'm about to get started on a first project with dyed wood
and I wonder about glue-up.

Can I dye a piece of wood and then glue it normally afterwards (i.e.,
yellow glue, pretty much like any wood)?

The dye, from what I've seen and what I've read, soaks into the wood
rather than coating the surface like a stain, and the surface of the
dyed wood looks pretty normal except for the color. So I'm thinking I
probably can treat it like normal wood for glueing purposes, but I
haven't seen this mentioned one way or another anywhere.

Advice from the group?
