JLS Design 39 Posted December 3, 2015 Has anyone ever tried spraying clear coat over vinyl lettering? The wife did a little project with our grand daughter for her Mom's Christmas gift. I'm thinking I should be able to spray clear coat over the vinyl to make sure it does not separate off of it's wooden surface. The wood has been prepped properly, and she applied the vinyl wording. Just want to put a coat or 2 of the clear coat to ensure they stay in place permanently. Thoughts, suggestions?? Thank you in advance for the assistance.

JLS Design 39 Posted December 4, 2015 Here is the clear coat. I think it will work. Going to test spray it on something else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TauntDevil 19 Posted December 12, 2015 Done this quite a few times. Normally when it is something simple on a car, usually what we have done. Also have applied the sticker and then painted a car so it is "popped" out of the paint. Enough layers as well and sometimes can be as if it isnt a sticker (smooth surface.)

bikemike 711 Posted December 12, 2015 I have done clear powder coat over 651. Worked great. Thinking as long as it is not solvent based clear, it should work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Command 97 Posted December 24, 2015 I use Krylon "Kamar Varnish" on top of some of my crafts. I find that sharp corners on 651 get eaten a bit by regular Krylon clear coat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLS Design 39 Posted December 24, 2015 It actually worked quit well. No issues I seen with the corners peeling or pulling up at all either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't think vinyl would hold up to that.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
