T O P I C R E V I E WBMckayDoes anyone have experience with having someone sign the back of a PVC material made patch (versus a cloth made patch) without the ink smudging?WehaveliftoffPVC is more flammable but I would think easier to sign and read, in my opinion. Smudging would be more of a concern on PVC, as well. I would use the finer point Sharpies.Panther494I agree, signing should be easier. Give time for the ink to dry properly and it should be fine. My only concerns would be the longevity of the PVC, would it degrade over time and would there be a chemical reaction between the ink and PVC.spaced outI'd be nervous of the ink spreading out over time in the plastic layer. It might look fine at first but after a few years of months I'm not so sure.bengutteryI had thought about sending out patches for signatures. While collecting, I had a ton of spare mission patches and was getting tired not locating much new stuff. So, start a new collection of signed mission patches. I did not do it, but it would be a very interesting and challenging effort. Good luck!BMckayWould adding a white label on the back be okay and then they sign that?Cozmosis22Sure that would be okay, but then you'd have an autographed piece of paper adhered to an emblem. You would lose the automatic assurance that the astronaut actually handled the mission patch during signing. Panther494I think that you may then have the problem of will the adhesive used react with the PVC. I'm not a fan of these PVC patches, they look excellent but not sure how they will fair over time.
