I suggest reading the first sticky in THIS section by Hide sponsor and outstanding custom builder, "wnroscoe". Read the entire sticky - many questions, as yours, are answered.

I've found that Minwax furniture paste wax works fine as a release agent.

I have not tried dying Devcon, but its natural color is fairly dark so I'm not sure that dye would substantially change the color. My preference is to mask the mating surface and paint the stock after bedding, which hides any bedding that may be visible with the action in place.
