    Default Zulu Grey. Best way to glue on the label?

    I'd like to glue one of the supplied labels onto my new ZG, but have no idea how to do so. Someone mentioned clear nail polish... valid idea?

    There is a thread on labels, somewhere here, I can hunt for it later , as I have to run,,,, I'll find it though,,,,
    Hold off , until we find the threads, there were several ways to glue labels mentioned.

    I glued mine on and then sprayed about 3 or 4 coats of 3m clear. You can buy it ant any home improvement store or crafts store. Looks great BTW...

    Mine was already glued since it was second hand, but I added a layer of clear nail polish to protect it. I would imagine the nail polish would essentially seal it to the stone if no adhesive was used. I may try the 3m method next time, because I feel like the nail polish isn't the clearest unless you dump a good amount on there.

    Or you can do it the old fashioned way and use shellac.

    The clear nail method seemed to be the most straightforward and simple....
