How to waterproof/seal end of wooden plant labels?

[vikkib]

ah, I used to do that. Try writing from the upper end towards the penny end next time

Cunning... very cunning!

Sadly the test one I left in the water all day has started sucking up water and the resin is coming off so I think I'll give the wood hardener a go next!

Edit: Search Amazon for Everbuild WOODHARD2 Lumberjack Wet Rot Wood Hardener 250ml, best price I could find.

Fabulous!

This and this purchased!

These may work out to be some rather expensive plant labels in the end but if it means I finally know the variety by the time I harvest it will be well worth it!

I just hope I end up growing the same varieties season after season!
