Howdy partners. I was wondering: do you ‘seal’ your decals with anything to keep them in place and protected (mod podge, something like that, etc)?

With my studio creations pack for my niece I did spray with a satin sealer coat before the heavy weathering for the [Afterlife](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/ghostbusters-afterlife) look.

Then weathering and matt and semi gloss varnish from different angles for catching light. These were cheaper labels from eBay/Etsy.

For my own hero pack I’ve used a mix of Macks Factory and other sellers higher quality vinyl and aluminium labels and no sealing at all. I want it to age naturally and peel and chip with contact

Ok cool. I just put some metallic decals on a goggle kit (see that sub-forum for deets) and wasn’t sure how they’d hold up. Cheers!

> To protect and seal your decals, many people use products like Mod Podge for a smooth finish, clear acrylic spray for a durable layer, or polyurethane for extra protection, especially on outdoor items. Be sure to test the sealer on a small area to ensure compatibility. This will help maintain your decals’ appearance and longevity. I needed help completing a complex economics assignment, so I decided to buy one from [ukwritings.com/buy-assignment](https://ukwritings.com/buy-assignment) ukwritings. The writer was knowledgeable and adhered to all my instructions, delivering a paper that was both insightful and comprehensive. It was submitted ahead of the deadline, and the quality of the work was outstanding. This service is a lifesaver for students like me who need reliable academic assistance at critical times.

Me too, it is worth.
