Sealer over Graphics
bravesfan:
Does anyone here put sealers over their artwork? If so, what kind did you use that won't ruin the graphics?
Bones:
Are you referring to the control panel? Most of that artwork here is covered with Lexan to protect it.
bravesfan:
More for the sides of the cabinet
TurboC--:
In the artwork forum someone told me to poly it, I haven't done it yet though.
Sensei:
I used Poly-Resin for my control panel
You can but whatever artwork you want and then cover it with this goop.
The resin comes as a two-part liquid. Once mixed you stir the crap out of it for about a minute. Once it starts thicken you simply pour the whole lot over top of your control panel.
(bubbles can be removed by blowing on them...CO2 from your breath removes even the finest bubbles).
It dries in about 12 hours and cures in 72.
After that you have a resin coating about a qaurter inch thick. Its like the coating on some slick bar tops. Tough as crap and looks very slick. Only problem is greasy finger prints seem to show pretty easy....but it comes of with a quick wipe.
Love this stuff. Lexan is nice but it scratches and you have to do something about the edges (like hide them beneath metal rails)
