Casting PR

[denny]

Hi all. i'm just getting started in casting , but have a question regarding stamps or pictures. Will the poly resin fade the pictures. If so, what and where does one get the product to use.
Thanks and have a nice weekend.

You need to seal the stamp before casting. Methods vary, some use ModPodge, some ca glue and still others use a spray sealer.

I haven't done "real" stamps. I have printed some images up and applied to pens. I use a clear spray sealer Krion (spelling) after it comes off the inkjet printer. Let it dry 24 hrs and then cast.
