  how do you seal the edges of graphics on glass?

  Posted by Derek Heron on 23 March 2009 at 07:50

  good morning everybody

  i have a customer who wants some graphics fitted to his chip shop window.
  he did have reversed etch with names etc all across but little fingers peeled and picked within days .
  so i have removed this.
  i was thinking of full colour graphic on clear backed with white either circle or oval so no corners to pick
  now is there something i could use to seal the edges more or less permanent would a seal it pen do or is there something else

  thanks

  Derek

  dont know if this is correct or not, but we have sealed edges with clear varnish before!!, the other thing have a look at jags website, i am pretty sure they sell a pen that is a sealer, whether it will work for this i do not know!

  cheers

  When I letter glass with paint I run an outline around the edge about 1/8" to protect the edges from chipping and window cleaning.

  Use yacht or exterior varnish tho as polyurethane is to brittle.
