To Dip or Not to Dip? That is the Question?

[AL Ursich]

I got an order for Fire Department Accountability Tags and will do them in Sublimation FPR one sided name tags with a chrome grommet. I know this is the Laser Forum but I could have done them in Laser too....

My question to the forum is after the tag is printed and using white FRP, if I wanted to seal the tag so dirt and grime would not mark up the exposed edges as easily what should I use?

I have some Rattle Can Frog Spit and that was my first idea. Another idea would be to dip or spray them with an exterior poly.

I want to make them a little more durable?

Your thoughts?

Thanks,

I'd be inclined not to do it as the edge is so porous that I doubt you'd succeed in getting a good finish. Then I doubt that the finish would have much life.

If you still think you'd like a finish I'd go with black Speedy marker on the edges nothing on the back.

I'd dip them in thinned polyurethane and let them hang until dry.

Mike that is what I was thinking, thinned poly.

Ran the black edges by the customer and likes white.

300 tags.... Better get to work...
