UV Protective spray/coating Hi, I just joined, hoping that some of you may have some suggestions for me. I'm not a photographer, but rather reproduce my art by print onto canvas and other materials. Even though I use archival inks, I need to coat the images with a UV protectant for porch settings and areas where the art will be exposed to indirect light, as the yellow is not as stable as the other colors. One canvas salesperson suggested McDonald's Shurguard. I called, and they have no studies on the rate of UV protection. Another salesman suggested Valspar. I just called them and left a message, we'll see what they say. What would be of greatest value to me, however, is to hear from any of you who have used UV coatings and how they've stood up over time. This is for my business, so I want to be able to stand behind my product. I was hoping for a spray can solution, but maybe I have to go to a brush application for better protection. Thank you to anyone with answers. Karen

Hi Karen! I have no experience with an seperate uv protectant,but I have an alternate suggestion. Some picture framing shops offer a type of glass that is uv resistant. I have had a catalog that listed the glass but I have misplaced it. Maybe another reader will have more info! Steve McCroskey

Hi Karen! After some research I found the name of the company I mentioned in my initial answer. Light Impressions is the name, www.lightimpressionsdirect.com is the website. I am happy to be able to provide more information.
