Post subject:  Is there a good clear protective covering for stickers?
I was recently given a sticker from my gold prospecting club. I'd like to put it in the back window but have a few concerns. The factory tint on the glass is too dark to let the sticker show up well if I was to mount it on the inside using clear tape as a backing. The sticker was meant for outside-the-glass use but is on a paper base. I doubt it would hold up very long to the elements.

Does anyone know of a clear covering I could use to affix and protect the sticker?

Thanks,

Paul

I have clear packing tape but I doubt that it would hold up to the elements for very long. I suppose what I'm looking for is some type of laminate but I just don't know where to find it.

I don't know if this anwsers your question but when I had a YJ the inspection sticker on the inside of the windshield used to always get wet and peel off because I did run a top most of the time. I found that if I put clear packing tape over it that sholved the problem. So it might yours as well.

You could try using contact paper. That's what my brother has used in the past to help protect stickers on vehicles.

Thanks folks. I bombed out at Staples. I'll go ahead and give the packing tape a try. Have lots of it left over from our Ebay days.

I wonder if the vinyl that they make decals with comes in clear? Maybe check with a sign shop if the packing tape doesn't work out :-)

you're kidding right? :roll: It's a sticker.... keep it safe at home or stick it.
Even if you cover it, water will get in between....even with the laminate stuff water gets in.

Go to a copy place, get them to scan it and print it on a Poly label material, then laminate that, put it on the car. Keep your good original copy safe at home..

You should have seen my daugther when she discovered what a screw driver was used for. Every light switch cover and outlet cover in the house had a screw missing. :o
