I finally got the job finished, the $100 bill under ureathane clear. I made a test panel first using 1 dollar bills (may make for a cool panel later), didnt want to screw up on a hundred. I found the best way for me was to use 3m artist's spray mount. still had some problems with the glue outgassing on the test panel, but letting it dry longer before clearing did the trick.
I tried washing and heat pressing a bill, but the edges wrinkled too much, didnt attempt that one. And dang, the bill the customer gave me wasnt flat enough and had been folded, I couldnt use it, traded it at the bank for their best one, that one had been folded too but was a little crisper.
A few places on the edges kept wrinkling up after the first few times clearing it, so I injected a little superglue in them and they stayed flat. Am doing this on a curved surface.
It took 5 times clearing (two coats each time) to get it smooth enough, sanding after baked and dried each time.
Customer picked up today and I forgot to bring my camera, so I dont have any pics....again haha

Hi Rick sounds like somebody has money to burn, I had a customer who wanted me to paint a hundred dollar bill on the front fender of his 47 Pontiac. I told him it would cost over $200. for me to do it , so he cleared a hundred dollar bill on the fender and saved $100. I'll have to find out how he went about that.
