How do you protect Sharpie signatures on plastic?
To prevent this, coat your writing with a layer of clear nail polish or a coat of matte polyurethane. Once it's completely dry, the clear-coat will shine, helping to hide the sanded surface not covered by writing. Choose the polyurethane for a matte, dull finish.
How do you preserve a signature?
Use a dry iron (no steam) and keep the iron flat over the signature for at least one minute. Do not rub which could smear the ink, but lift the iron up and down over the signature while applying firm pressure to prevent scorching. If you don't have an iron, toss the signed fabric into the dryer.
How do you stop autographs from fading?
quick. TIP: Keep your autograph in a darker room and at no point in the day should your autograph come into any direct light. Keep your autograph in a room that stays predominantly dark so increase the lifespan of your signature! THE #2 REASON YOUR AUTOGRAPH IS FADING IS THE MATERIAL IT IS SIGNED ON!
How do I protect my guitar signed?
Spray a fine mist of acrylic clear coat over the autographed area. One coat of the protective spray will work fine. Allow the clear coat to dry before playing or moving the guitar. If the guitar has already been signed with a permanent marker or sharpie, use a clear nitrocellulose lacquer to preserve the signature.
