First belt bleeding

[Tradrook]

I made my first belt, tooled, dyed, glued, finished and stitched. 

I used fiebings (not sure if its water oil based) and finished with 3 coats of 50/50 resolene. 

The back liner is not dyed, but the edges are. Edges and liner hit with resolene as well. 

I wore the belt over the weekend and noticed some bleed from the edge dye and were the buckle/skive end sits. 

How do I stop the dye bleed?? I've buffed between dye and resolene and it was clean, no noticeble residue on the rag. My fear is if/when the belt gets wet it will bleed more. I haven't tried it because I'm worried my stitching will absorb the bleed (white thread, brown dye).

What can I do to fix and prevent this?

Any help is appreciated!!

How long did you let it dry before you put finish on it?  If its not completely dry, it can bleed and the dye and finish can react to make a sticky feeling mess.
