Hi everyone,

I make pendants out of resin which have hand painted details. I recently received one back for a repair as the chain had broken, and I noticed that some of the hand painted details have rubbed off already (after only a couple of weeks of being owned and worn)

Right now I use several coatings of 'Humbrol Gloss Cote', which is solvent based, to seal in the hand painted areas and give an overall gloss finish.

There's a chance that this customer has been particularly rough with hers given the breakage, but I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a clear sealant which is really tough and will not yellow?

I just tried doing a test with crystal clear Araldite, but it sits on the surface and puddles. I've also tried using an enamelling 2 part resin, hand painted onto the surface, but that had the same problem where it separates.

Any help or advice is really appreciated, thanks so much
