In Response To: Epoxy over paper and ink (Brian G.)

I was given a wooden canoe paddle in 1993 signed by my fellow employees at a job I left. They signed it with Sharpie permanent markers. I sprayed it with a clear coat of acrylic. I've been using that paddle ever since (hundreds of hours of paddling)and the signatures are still in pretty good shape. The sharpies come in 4 different colors. It seems like a much simpler solution than rice paper and epoxy.
