I've been trying to find a source for that epoxy resin that you add lettering enamel to. It's made by the guys that make the Grain Fraim, but I can't remember the name of the product, and after looking through a few magazines and doing a Google search.... well, I thought I'd take the easy way out and ask here. Thanks!

DuraFinish IS SignShine Resin. The owner of SignShine sorta partnered up with SignFoam. Sign Arts Products (SignFoam) are marketing the Grain Fraim, Dura Caps, and Dura Finish as part of their entire line.
By the way, I LOVE that stuff. I've never had any product cut more production time off a sign while adding durability as DuraFinish has.
Two things though. First, the Dura Finish will darken slightly, so lighten up your One Shot to achieve your final color. White just won't stay white, it will turn a light cream color. If I want dark green I'll use medium green One Shot. That's about how much it darkens. I've heard they are working on the formula to make it even more UV stable.
Second, we're finding under certain circumstances that the resin can oxidize. I feel its an air pollution thing. Two light coats of Krylon Clear prevents this from happening.
