i have a customer who wants variegated leaf on his sign. i always thought variegated was for indoor use. i was told i could put frog juice or uv clear over it? since i've heard conflicting things about frog juice and how uv clear can yellow and crack, i was wondering what the appropriate thing to use would be. the sign is a 4'x 8'oval so i'd rather know the facts and not ride from the seat of my pants on this one.
can someone please point me in the right direction with a brand name?

Hi Karyn...have used several clears over similar and same thing with good success. Some of these are no longer available although I would use in this case "Clear Star". It is made through cromatic and get it here in Canada from Canadian Signcrafters. The phone number I don't have here but should be easy to find!

Not Chromatic but by the original creators of Chromatic. www.clearstarcorp.com
