tried the suggestion of using water as a thinner . . .  was one of the dumbest things I've done in the last 20 years.

I’d say you’re doing pretty well then... I’ve been a whole lot dumber than that more than once in the past two decades!

A good way to dye without using an airbrush or daubers is to use a damp sponge. In a pinch, I cut the corner off of a dishwashing sponge and use that. 

Place two strips of masking tape, sticky side up, on the table, and tape them in place.  Or, get damp paper towels and lay them in a cookie sheet.  Either way, line up the straps close together and press lightly onto the tape / towels to hold them still and minimize wasted dye.
