Unfortunately I agree with your husband. I have found in painting that if you have a rough and bumpy coat anything on top of it will just make it worse. Also clear shiny coats will REALLY enhance the uneven areas.
Magic bands
I can't remember how far back it is but someone figured that all out and posted a template. I wanna say it happened back in January or February, I have the file if it needs to be reposted.
My trip is 5/6 and I and many others with early may trips recieved shipping notices. Some have even started to receive theirs.
Usually its after the 30 day mark. We are arriving 5/3 and ours havent budged from your bands are being personalized and will be shipping soon. Apparently "soon" is suggestive lol
Thanks for this info - Have you found any info on whether to put Base Coat over SHARPIE ink ? My sons have used sharpies to personalize their bands but I am thinking of putting something over them to protect them / just in case they want to go swimming with them still on. They are not sure they want anything SHINY over their bands but I think they would look better and last longer.Funny that I happened to be on here today to see this! We are heading home tomorrow and my band held up pretty well. Some of the skinny pieces started to lift, but I think it had more to do with constantly picking up or holding my kiddo. I didn't use a clear coat at all. I did use my hair dryer to heat up the vinyl a little bit while applying to help it adhere better. Everything I have read about vinyl is not to coat it because it actually needs to breath and will stick better the longer it sits. If it gets covered it will actually be more likely to not adhere. I am not sure if doing something to the band first would help or not. Good luck with yours! I got lots of compliments
Woo-HOO! I think it took me about a week, but I finally made it through *every* page of this thread! All of the art work and just sheer creativity has been amazing and inspirational. I have truly enjoyed the range of art from simple to bling, easy DIY to masterpiece, "deconstructed" to finely detailed. I love each one of them!
My Spectro images came out a little pixelated (totally might fault for not playing with the images more) but I still love it. Here's what is suggested on their site: "Ideally images should be 300dpi but good results can be obtained with smaller images. If you want to upload one image to cover the whole MagicBand Skin, we recommend that your image be 2348 x 278 pixels."
I followed roughly followed the recommended size and saved it as a jpg I believe. Basically it's just something you gotta play with and make sure it's something you really like.
the one my son decorated is going to be redone. He wants even spacing on his Star Wars theme We have another set on the way for our split stay,not sure what to do with those yet. 
) and I have a question cause I think I may have to come up with some more themes. I know we get bands for our regular park tickets, but we are also attending 2 of the Halloween parties while we are there. Will we get separate bands for the parties and if so do we get bands for each of the parties? I'm confused . . .
What did you use to make them glow? They look very bright!
). It's been 6 months and they still glow!
Awesome, thanks! I checked the properties of all the pics i used and of course they were all under 100 dpiTo be honest I can't really remember (I don't think so though)...Regardless, I really do love how they turned out and I can't wait to put them on! Like I've said before as long as you follow their guidelines and you like how it looks then they will be just fine.
So I pretty much need to start over, had they been close I think I would be ok...but they're way under.
