I seem to recall reading that Cermark is not UV stable......I tried searching the old posts, but since you can't input a two letter word, nothing relevant came up.

I'm planning to use Cermark on stainless steel and was wondering if it was appropriate for an exterior application.......will it fade?

Thanks

It should be fine... you can heat the stuff with a blow torch cherry red and it bounces right back.

I made a sign back in 1997 on a sheet of SS about 9" X 13" in size. Back then it was Cerdec. It has been hanging on the door of a local powdercoating shop ever since! Everything looks as it did when I took it out of the laser as far as the marking goes, the SS has a nice faint brownish/yellow hue to it 'tho. So, yeah, UV NOT a problem.
