Making and applying rod decals?
Submitted by scano on Sat, 2012-06-16 08:08
G'day all,
I just received a rod decal in the post from the us. My problem being is that it is too small for the blank I have got.
Has anyone actually printed their own custom rod graphics / decals and applied them to rod blanks?
Printing them would be the easy part obviously but I was wondering how you go about printing some so that when you apply clear rod finish over the top then the ink does not run?
I did some hunting on line and came up with Mixes results but from what I can gather a clear sealer of some kind needs to be applied in order to stop the ink running when apply the top coat of rod finish?
Any info or suggestions would be much apappreciated
Cheers
Scano
