Default Clear Coating for Ink-Jet Labels

Well, after five days of outgassing, the bottles no longer smell like
high-octane gasoline and I can finally bring my 25 bottles of wine in from
the garage.
I came across this spray stuff in the art section of a store. It says
on the can: " Non-yellowing protection for oil, acrylic and watercolor."
After printing up my labels, I taped the sheets of paper to some scrap
plywood. I followed the instructions on the can explicitly and gave the
labels two coats of Krylon Kamar Varnish. After letting them dry in the work
shed for two hours, I brought them into the kitchen.
In less than an hour I had trimmed the labels and stuck them on with
craft glue sticks, the kindergarten stuff, and put the bottles over in a
corner of the kitchen.
In less than another hour I was carrying the bottles out of the house to
the garage. Good Grief! That stuff stunk up the whole house! On the can it
says to use in a well-ventilated area but I thought that was just for the
spraying and drying. I took three days for the smell to dissipate.

Krylon Kamar Varnish (1312)

I'm not condemning the product but if you use it, plan on leaving it
outside for a few days before bringing it into the house.

Regards,

Casey
