Rainshadow specification decal sticker

Hey, I tried calling batson enterprise and sending an email about this but didn't get a response yet so I thought I ask you guys. For the decal sticker that comes with the rainshadow blanks, do I need to use color preserver first before putting the finish on? Trying to get the rod finish before my trip on Thursday. Thanks!

I've always add a little CP to the edges just to make sure I don't get any seepage of the epoxy. I'm sure others have had good luck without it. I figure this is about the last step or very close to it so why take chances.

May your line be tight and your beverages be cold!

We always seal any label or inscription with CP, usually 2 coats, just to be on the safe side.

Best wishes,

And make sure the CP is dry between coats and before applying the epoxy.
