Hi to all,
This is my first "new" post to "The Rocketry Forum".
I'm looking for ideas/suggestions on clear coating inkjet printed paper shrouds. I'm currently working on the "Centuri Point" (which is basically just a paper shroud anyway), I've printed the shroud onto 110 lb. cardstock (on my Canon inkjet) and was looking for ideas on how to preserve the details by clear coating the whole shroud after assembly. Just looking for something to protect the shroud from smudging and keeping it clean from dirty little fingers!
In the past I tried using the Krylon "Triple Thick Crystal Clear Glaze" on an Art Applewhite saucer (same basic cardstock build), but I was never happy with the results. Maybe it was insufficient passes (I only sprayed it twice) or merely applied it too lightly, but I was left with almost a slightly mottled effect.
So looking to others for their ideas/suggestions/experiences etc.
Thanks in advance.
... Bill
