Since this sticker it technically made from thick paper, it is a good idea to protect it somehow, so I sprayed the front and back of mine with PYMII, which is an acrylic protective coating also used often in scrapbooking to protect paper.

Make sure you follow the manufacturer's safety warnings on the label because you do not want to breathe in the vapor (which is why I suggest doing it outside).
