Hi,
I have a almost new, meaning not old at all, liqour bottle with a paper label. A dear freind of mine passed away a week ago and I'd like to preserve this bottle as it has memories for me. I'd also like to use this bottle as a decanter.
I saw in the "repair" forum someone asked about label preservation and the replies where mostly clear coat. What worked for for him best was the charcoal drawing coat from an art store. The images he posted looked like it worked well. I also read in that thread that some folks don't care for the clear coat method.
My concerns are that I will be handling this bottle a few times a year, and of course I don't want the label to get messed up.
I would not mind reapplying whatever throughout the years, and as long as the label remains for the most part readable, I don't mind a little bit of "not pristine looking condition".
I initially was thinking something along the lines of the stuff that people use to waterproof maps:
Do any of you have thoughts on this, or maybe even another route to get done what I wish done?
Thank you all very much,
Howard
