krys10g 0 Posted November 14, 2009 Hi everyone, I am wanting put a vinyl letter on a clear glass plate used for cheese balls or dips. I am going to mirror it and put it on the bottom of the plate. I am using Oracal 651. My question is would the letter be okay if it got wet but not submerged in water? I thought about putting a sticker on the packaging saying "please hand wash and do not fully submerge in water". Is there anyway to protect the letter? Any suggestions would be great. I don't want to sell a product and then have the letter peeling off. Thank you! Kristen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rodger 527 Posted November 15, 2009 thanks Kristen , heat in some diswashers can effect vinyl , but most dishwasher don't get hot enough , long enough to hurt decals from what I've read here . Handwashing should not be a problem , but a small disclaimer should make the customer take a bit of care . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krys10g 0 Posted November 21, 2009 Thanks everyone! I was going to put a disclaimer on there to hand wash only and maybe even "don't keep submerged in water for long periods of time". I appreciate everyone's feedback! Kristen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
