Does anyone have a tip or trick to keep the veneers from western cue (Martin) from bleeding together. I was told to seal some of the colors but not all but not told what to seal them with? I glue the with west system epoxy
 
My first thought is water based dye bleeds with water based glue. Maybe try different glue.
What glue are you using?

I use Titebond III and have not run into a bleeding problem.
 
Travis, Preseal with West Systems (I forgot the numbers, I'm on vacation) or thinned 60 minute epoxy. Put the sheet on wax paper or freezer paper and coat both sides. When dry, gently sand and then the veneer sheet is ready to go into a lamination or "sandwich" with other veneer colors. Other sealing methods might also work, but I am not familiar with the results. No bleeding problems aith any colors using Titebond II or III. Slow set epoxies (24 hour) reactivate the dye in super saturated colors like Turquoise, Peacock, and Royal Blue. That's why I label those colors. I guess its time I make up a sheet with instructionsto include for first time users.

Best regards, Martin

Depends on what kind of dye is used,
