[Histonet] Vector Labs Nova HRP--Red Substrate: Not Really EtOH compatible?

[JR R]

The Product information says: 

"NovaRED™ substrate may be
dehydrated in ethanol and cleared in organic solvents such as xylene
and permanently mounted in a non-aqueous mounting medium such as
VectaMount"


But I have done two stains now where I initially had intense, specific staining at first--But after my slides come out of the EtOH/Xylene for coverslipping, the staining has vanished.

This is getting to be expensive!

Has anyone else ever had this problem with Nova Red?  Any ideas?
