Excellent work!
pot and stuff to add on here ! Ooopss!
but I feel like it looks ok like this !
keep this is mind now ! Bc sealants are expensive!
Once my vinyl changed colors and bubbled, I did more research on it, and learned it was definitely from applying sealant over it. Good quality vinyl should do just fine without being sealed. However, if you do want to seal it, epoxy resin is the best way to go. It won’t harm it and will protect it for life. I use it to seal vinyl on my wood coasters and sometimes wooden canvases. And you’re most welcome. 
you should do a walk through video if you don’t already have one 
bc these kind of things I’m better at watching the hands on that reading instructions 
please 
and thank you !
