Label Problem
Posted by: Steve French (205.184.255.---)

I'm trying to use a Bother labelmaker for labeling my rods.
The labels are looking good but I can't get them to stop curling
when I apply the finish. Bellow are some of the things I have tried.
Wraping over both ends of the label.
Putting a coat of finish on before the label.
Spraying Krylon clear finish on the label after putting it on the rod.
Thanks for any help you can give me,
Steve

Have you tried color preserver over the label? If is curls just on the edges, simply let that coat of finish dry for 24hours, then take a razor and trim the portions protruding through the finish. What Model of label maker are you using? Does is print gold or silver on clear?

Steve,
same problem here, using a dymo label maker. The best results yet were when I wrapped over both ends, but I'm still not happy.
I have also been told about using color preserver. Thats what I am trying next.
Currently, this label maker prints black, white, blue & red on clear. Also the black on silver looks good on black blanks.
Let me know if you find something that works better.
Thanks,
Sean

Try decalconnection they put out a great decal and a sheet of them runs about 50 cents each. He also has full sheets you can buy blank. I got my first order from from them and they work great. Very fast delivery.
