Tokonole is great but does not waterproof.  It does make the edge slightly water-resistant.  Part of this is because it contains wax, albeit a small amount.  Adding more wax after helps.  Paraffin or beeswax are easy and relatively cheap. 

My preferred sealer is acrylic resolene, diluted 1:1 with tap water.

Question @battlemunky if you still have those pieces you showed earlier... could you run a damp cloth over the edge and see if any comes off ?

i have tried 4 different methods that I have learned here and videos and still I get a black streak with a damp cloth .... so frustrating :thumbsdown:

I can. I'm on travel until Thursday night but I'll dig them out of the trash and see if I can't get some to transfer onto something. Well, unless Mrs. Munky takes out the trash in the craft room.

I'm in the airport now, so in another 5 hrs or so I should be home. I'll grab some pics of the dye penetration as well as doing a transfer test.

Ok, here's a few pics of the ends showing dye penetration between the heavy handed black dye and the one coat on the edges. From there, I rubbed the edge on a white paper towel and got nothing. Then I wet it and rubbed it on the paper towel and got very next to nothing. A very very slight transfer. In my book, oil dye slicked with water, gum trag, and beeswaxed is pretty well set.
