So, I have an old wooden foot locker of my father’s from WWII. It has a decal on the inside of the lid which, over time, has cracked, had some peeling, but is mostly there. I want to preserve it with some type of resin or epoxy. As far as ‘sealing’ the paper decal with clear drying glue (or other product), the decal is already adhered to the wood (except for the pieces/peelings – which we have most of them). I am concerned about the color being damaged during the process, so I need to know if you’ve ever worked with something this old – will sealing just the surface (not back) of the decal work just as well? Any tips?
Thanks
