I have some photo's I would like to mount onto fomacore board - I want them to last...can anyone recommend a good protective coating? I was thinking of maybe Krylon Crystal Clear? Has anyone used this on their photos with success? Thanks :)

Krylon has many different spray products. I'm not sure if that is the right one for photos unless it says it is fine on the can. I used two different ones from Krylon but just can't think of the names off hand.

Crystal clear works if you are careful and use 2 LIGHT coats. Had some promo shots around at horse shows for a couple of years now. For a softer look - Krylon fixitive works pretty good.

Krylon or whatever: Try to find one with a UV "filter" included to get the most life out of the prints.
