Help! I make jewelry with tintypes, so a friend has asked me to
make a “memory” bracelet for his mother using present-day photos of
her parents, now deceased. The tintypes seem so indestructible
having survived for more than 100 years now that I don’t protect
them other than putting them in a frame. But I’d like to come up
with some way to protect the current photos I need to use for this
bracelet. Ideally I’d like to put some sort of thin protective coat
of something on before riveting them into their frames. Hate to
admit it, but I am very tempted to use clear nail polish–yikes!
Any ideas??
Thanks, Madelyn
