Hi,
I'm an artist and designer, I create girly plugs and have a custom order that's proven a little difficult.
The girl wants digital photos printed for the reversed sides of her plugs. I planned to use a glass covering however its way to bulky, I've been looking into acrylic sealers to seal to picture in but I have no idea what to use, Brand, type or anything.
Someone help please!

Re: Acrylic sealer on plugs
Pretty much any resin will (probably) work. Different people like different brands depending on curing time, or local weather...
Most go for the two part kinds, with a resin and a hardener. Get rid of the bubbles before it sets. You need to seal the photo before too, so it doesn't go all soggy looking - clear nail varnish or PVA will usually work.
But don't get resin anywhere near the wearable. A LOT of people are allergic to it, and its usually worse than 'just a bit itchy'. Set it in eyelets of something of the like.
