I'm wondering if anyone hasd an idea on how to seal inkjet waterslide decals, I know how to do it but since its winter I cant do it in the garage and was wondering what else might work. I think the wife might have issues with me spraying in the house

I have the same problem, my wife hates the spray smell! But live in a big house, so I put up plastic dropcloths in the furthest room from her, light a bunch of odor killing candles, close as many doors as possible, and whenever possible wait until she is asleep or out for a couple of hours.

If you are willing to spend some money there are shop size spray booths for sale. If you want to keep doing it in the garage, it will still work fine. I know you are in Vermont, but as long as you do not store the cans out there, it should be ok. I did that last winter in upstate NY just fine. Lastly, if you are in southern Vermont, bring them to me, and I'll do them for ya!

I think I have a good system for sealing the decals. If that is what you need I will write it down for you.

Good luck!

I use krylon crystal clear coat but wasnt sure how using it in the cold would work. maybe spray in the garage and take in the house to cure. Thanks for the advice shmails I'll try a couple diff things but would still like to hear from others.

Roag,
If you have access to plastic sheeting like that which is used in houses, get some 2x4's, make a frame and cover it in the plastic. I did a similar thing in my garage last year with polyeurathane and wooden snowshoes and by putting a 60 watt light in there first it raised the temperature enough that I was able to use the poly. This was in February in upstate NY. It should work for you as well. Best of luck.
