From my experience water based dyes (acrylic) don't penetrate deep into the wood spirit dyes will soak a lot deeper but the only other way I can see a pen blank getting soaked right to the core without a pressure pot is if it is drilled out first and submerged in the dye and allowed to soak right in but that no guarantee looks like an expensive project to me
