Housing Labels coming off - anyone tried anything to prevent them rubbing off?

6 posts
  1. Hi All,

    I rarely visit here, and did do a search but couldn't find any threads. 

    The labels on my housing (for all the buttons and etc) wear off over time. Im sure we've all experienced it.

    Has anyone tried a clear coat to keep them on? Maybe a model car sort of clear coat you could paint on with a small brush over the labels?

    Thanks in advance. 

     

  2. Some nail polish did the trick for my housing

  3. Come on, you should be proud about your no-labels housing.
    After a few dives you will not need them at all.

    Thought that idea might come up!

    Good to have confirmation!

  6. I put Gorilla transparent, waterproof tape (Lowe's or Home Depot) over them, and add other labels like camera settings and useable lenses (without vignetting) on the ports.  No edge lifting after several years, maybe 50 dives, and some intense sun exposure.
