Hello
I've read here about printing my own labels and decided to go that way.
So I bought some "fixing" spray, the kind used for pencil or cryon paintings.
I printed my labels (I will post it here some other time), sprayed with fixer and used glue stick to apply them, just as I read here.
After that I tested it by wetting the bottle (not soaking, just a little water).
The ink started to wear off immediately and the label itself came off too easily, almost with no peeling.
So obviously it isnt working for me.
My questions are:
1. For all the people here who use this method and recommend it here: do you experience the same problems ? how do your labels handle the condensation of water on the bottle after you take it out of the fridge ?
Am I missing something or doing it wrong ?
2. What are the alternatives ? Is there any better way to seal and glue home-made labels ? If I go and by labels and then print on them with my home jet printer, will it stay better ?
Thank you
Guy Shilo
