Label casting

[AceMrFixIt]

My labels peel away a bit when casting. Using Alumilite Clear Cast. Cleaning brass, not touching label with fingers. What are the ways to prevent this? Thanks.

Use good quality label paper. I use Online Labels Weatherproof Matte Labels for Inkjet, Stock # OL177WJ. Make sure you have approximately a 1/16" overlap at the seam. Cast the blanks ASAP after adhering the labels to the tubes.

Make the label just a little bit longer and burnish it down with the side of the marker you use to cover the white on the end of the label. I do this now and rarely have label lift. Like Mark said use a good label as well. Good luck

Thanks for the tip. I am trying a few things. Vertical dip in thin ca and elmers clear glue. Hope to cure the issue.

Alumilite Clear slow a a urathane resin. It doesn't play well with CA. Stick with the Elmers. Just in case IMHO CA out gasses. I let it cure for 3 days before casting in a Polyester Resin.
