Preserving the Stickers/Ribbons on DR Harris Wooden bowls

A simple easy trick. Take a $4 can of clear gloss enamel spray and give it 2-3 light coats and let it dry. Now the entire bowl including the stickers are water proof and should last for years in that steamy bathroom.

+1. I've heard clear nail polish works, but it's more manly to use a spray can!

Actually, no! It's clear and shiny! So now the sticker and ribbon are permanently on there and resistant to moisture.

Oh man, just this very morning I soaked what was remaining of an old Arlington sticker off. It had gotten too shabby. If only I'd seen this first.

Just order a new one and go to Lowes and pick up a can of clear Rust-O-Matic enamel gloss.

I like it when the wooden bowl gets old. I have a 20-year-old C-M (I think) wooden bowl that is bleached, warped, cracked, and I love it like that. Very wabi-sabi. I have my beloved Trumper Rose soap jammed in it.
