New Krylon UV Resistant finishes? I just.....

http://JamieDonaldson

..went to Hobby Lobby for a spray can of "Cherry Bomb Glitter Blast" (I'm making Christmas ornaments!) and found some Krylon materials I had not seen before. In my never ending quest to promote archival standards when coloring wood, light fading is always a matter of taking product "truth in advertising" claims when we don't have empirical data on their actual color permanence performance. One is labeled UV Resistant Acrylic and the other UV Resistant Archival Varnish, so I bought a can of each. I don't have any scientific protocols for fade testing, and maybe some of y'all have already used these products and have an opinion?

I think you should spray a few things and hang around for 30 years to see of it works. I will if you will.
