That's really what I'm looking for. I do remember having problems with rub off

I have tried oil based dyes in the past, but I had no end of issues with dye rubbing off, that why I now use water based dyes. 

@fredk I might try that. We have slate tiles in our house and they need sealing periodically, might try that sealer in place of Neatlac . The  Neatlac  variants can't be shipped from the east by air here in Oz and freight by road is ex$$$y . So instead, I've been using a water based varnish on some specific  jobs, works fine .  We learn something new every day on here  eh?

I noticed some time ago, just a few years ago maybe,  that my Resolene was not sealing dye.

I think the makers might have changed it at some point

20 years ago when I first used Resolene one coat would seal dye, two coats were good for resist on my game boards. Then, a couple of years ago, I noticed that my newer batch of Resolene wasn't doing the job of sealing red dye no matter how many coats I put on or how it was put on so in desperation to get some 'coffee cup cuffs' sealed I grabbed my local version of 'Mop & Glo' which I'd been using as a varnish on wood, antler handles et cetera and found it worked wonderfully well.

Its now my main 'go to' sealer.

Its also a lot cheaper at £1 for 750 ml of 'Astonish Floor Polish' as it is called compared to £6.70 (+ s&h )for 120ml

A'h yes, red dye....yikes !! Mine is water based. Thats the one particular colour I have issues with too. It bleeds in all the wrong places, and like you said, no matter how much sealer  I put on, it still bleeds, other  colours are fine. It must be the way red is  made I guess.  So I decided to think outside the  square.
