Keeping the decals in tact? A quick question!
Let's say I find a machine that both runs and looks beautiful... But that I want to use. What's the best way to keep the decals from getting further worn? How much abuse can they take? Things like that. I think I'd like to be a little more picky with my next machine so it can be both a piece of art and functional but I don't want to worry about ruining the pretty decals.

I'm looking forward to answers on this one! My guess is some extra shellac but that's just a guess.

If the finish on top of the decals is in decent condition, you can give it a shot of the clear coat of your choice. Just make sure the machine is clean, and not oily.

I wouldn't think you'd need to tape anything off if you're applying it with a cloth. See Glenn's tutorial on renewing/repairing the shellac on a machine for instructions. |

You can also redo the shellac, which I have never done. But there are tutorials here, and folks have had really great results. |
