Sealing
I use the following products to seal my Yupo if I do not use UV glass. Please note depending on your color choices, some colors may fade more than others. I can say that I personally have 3 painting still hanging (3+ years behind UV glass and they have not faded) I do have them hung out of direct sunlight.
