Running Dye! Help

[WoodysWorkshop]

I'm using Tandy Violet Dye. I ordered some top finish because super sheen was running the dye into the paint.

Tandy said top finish was for dyed area's.

So why is it still running?

Is there anything I can put on that doesn't run the dye?

I am basically need something that won't run the dye into the paint so I can put on my finish, which also runs the dye.

These are coasters and I'm using Mod Podge in several coats for the finish as it protects against hot cups and is completely water proof.

So anything waxy can't be used.

I'm really frustrated, these should have been done a long time ago.

I've ruined more coasters than what I wanted as a finished product already.

These were suppose to have been Christmas Gifts for sweet, dear elderly couple that lives in the apartment complex.

Any suggestions certainly can't hurt at this point. Only thing I haven't tried is Epoxy!
