I was wondering what to use to protect the acrylic paint fill after engraving on Home Depot's white glazed ceramic tiles.

Thank You, Sheryl Haley

I haven't done the fills on tile just heat press CLT to tile.

I use a spray clear laquer for protectant.

Havent tested it outside for durability though.

Color Laser Transfer,

You print an image on a special transfer paper on your laser copier.
then with a heatpress (just like Tee shirts) you can transfer the image to many different substrates.

Tile works great it's cheap, much cheaper that dye sub and you can use untreated material.

See Magic Touch USA web site they have a decent transfer material for harn substrates. (haven't had much luck with the cloth version)

I do put a protective coat on just because:rolleyes:
