It may be that Vector has changed the formulation for Hard Set. I
suggest you call them up. I have found their technical support to be
excellent.

Hi all,
I'm using the Churukian method posted by Gayle Callis a few years ago and I
have encountered a strange problem. The lipid stains fine, and the Gill's
hematoxylin looks good before I coverslip with Vectashield Hard Set aqueous
mounting medium. But within a matter of minutes, the hematoxylin leaches out.
I popped off the coverslip and tried again with Mayer's hematoxylin with the
same results. I have used Vectashield Hard Set before, in fact I pulled a 5
year old control that still looks great. Does anyone have any ideas?
