cheekychops Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Hi I have noticed that the ID Backscene I have is easily blemish with water and/or slight abrasion when damp. Any ideas on protecting this against? Dullcote? Matt lacquer? Many thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekychops Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 I did a small experiment with Halfords Matt Lacquer and it did provide protection against a 'wet finger swipe' after only one coat. I'm surprised no one has found this an issue this as a backscene blemish is easily noticed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Great Bear Posted January 4, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 4, 2020 I guess too late as you've mounted it but I thought they offered the option of printing on waterproof paper, their "premium" range https://www.art-printers.com/ That's something I wish I'd considered. Along with the blemishing you may also find that in an environment where the humidity/temperature greatly varies, an outside shed, the normal ones bubble over time.

cheekychops Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 Thanks, I have had a look and can see that the premium range might be better. I have managed to seal it with Halfords Matt Lacquer. What to do spend more money. I am not keen on self-adhesive/non-aqueous glues so I might go ahead with the current standard grade and coat it. Not really impressed with this product, it should be water-fast whatever the grade! D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium JimFin Posted January 11, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 11, 2020 I have used this successfully - one coat applied by brush, colour is fractionally darker once coated but provides good protection. Should be available at local DIY store. https://www.ronseal.com/for-home/wall-treatments/stain-block-paint/one-coat-stain-guard-clear-coat/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
