    Default Ubeaut dyes run when dried?

    Does anyone know if the Ubeaut wood dyes will run after they are dried?

    I need to make several layers of 2 or 3mm pine, each intensely coloured and then glue 4 or more different colours together.

    My concern is the glue will make the dye run.

    I can always layer the colours between unstained layers, but still I'm curious if the same thing will occur.

    Obviously I'm keen to get a crisp line of colour, run free.

    I use a very watered down white glue to paint the pieces to seal them before I dye any of the pieces which stop the dye from bleeding and have not had any problems. Doing this will take the dye a little longer to dry.
