Hello!

    Ive been noticing when I do my edging and burnishing it transfers the dye onto what it lays on.  I guess maybe my process is the problem?

I bevel the edge first and sometimes wet the edge and burnish real quick to get a smooth edge first or just bevel. Then I usually dye the edge with black or brown, then burnish smooth to get a clean edge. After it drys, I sand or burnish with Tokonole to a glassy finish, then let dry for the night. Then i assemble next day or later. 
    But if I do that, say on a wallet or bag and it lays ontop of another piece, it dyes that back piece. How do I stop that?

I did a picture of a bag I did and you can see it slightly doing it already.  If it gets used a lit it rubs a lot on it and transfers it.

 Any ideas how to stop that? Ive tryed paint before and its ok. Maybe a wax or a clear coat?
