But from my uninformed position, why wouldn't a coat of the stuff "seal" the fabric?

And as I said, the sample ribbon I sprayed it on (not my medal's ribbon), doesn't appear to be damaged.

Am not "arguing," am sincerely appreciative of your input, just reporting back on what I'm trying/seeing.

It's not the medals I'd be spraying, just the ribbons on the medals.

********ON EDIT, oh am getting that "acrylic sealer" is NOT ACRYLIC, is for SEALING acrylic. I'm learning, am grateful!

"can't erase what's under it" - sounds on the right track. UTUSN Sep 2020 #4
