Maybe its static electricity? Try taking a dryer sheet and rubbing the plexi and the artwork lightly to remove the static. |

I went and bought a matte finish clear coat from a craft store, applied it to my CP, and it works perfectly. I've had it this way for months with no 'dampness' issues whatsoever. |

This is what I bought: http://www.michaels.com/Krylon%C2%AE-Matte-Finish/cp0429,default,pd.html?cgid=products-craftpainting-finishes-krylon&start=7 I sprayed a coat over my vinyl CP, let it completely dry, gave it a light wiping with a dry microfiber cloth, then put it under the plexi for my CP. It looks great. |
