Screen-printed label--How to protect?

Hello,

I'm working on a Lamiglas SMB-842 F and the blank has what appears to be a screen-printed manufacturer's label. Is there a reliable method of protecting this label so it doesn't wear off? I tried applying some of my usual epoxy finish, but it seems to be reacting to the ink in the screen print causing the epoxy right above the lettering to go wavy? Luckily was able to wipe off the epoxy before it cured. I'm thinking about trying some color preserver next, but was wondering if anyone has encountered this problem before and what steps they took to solve it. Thanks for any info/suggestions.

Whenever we coat a label, either new or if it is on a rod being refurbished,
we always put a coat (or two) of color preserver to seal it before putting the Epoxy finish on.

Best wishes,

Generally, a coat of CP as Ron suggests will do the trick. Epoxy will then go on without a problem.

Let the CP dry overnight

Hello all,

Update:
Put two coats of color preserver over label and waited overnight. This morning the finish went on perfect. Have a great weekend and thanks again for the good advice.
