First thin the Clear Shield. You can thin it up to 20% per the Clear Star rep I talked to. I thin it until it's about the consistency of milk, whatever percentage that might be.

Then lose the roller. You want to mop it on with a foam brush or an actual mop. You want to be just on the wet side of a dry brush. Blob some on the vinyl and spread it with overlapping vertical strokes. Then do overlapping horizontal strokes. Or vice versa. Whatever you do, keep the coat thin. Adding more coats or a thicker coat serves no functional purpose. Once the media is coated, it's coated. Further application is just coating the Clear shield with more unneeded Clear Shield.

I know from whence I speak. I've been using the stuf for years and once I realized that thinner is better, I've never, as in ever, had a problem with it.

Nice Bob!

Has it held up decent outdoors since you have been using it on prints?

I like the Clear Shield. We don't liq. lam. anything that large though. The only thing we use it for are car magnets. +1 for a foam brush.

It's better to have two hands than one glove.

I have a print coated with Clear Shield that's been on the front of my horse trailer for over six years now. It sits outside, facing south, in all manner of weather from snow to blistering heat. It appears to be no different than the day I put it on.
