One of the reasons I'm going to try it in the finish layer is that I don't know how fade resistant the ink will be under 4-5 coats of UV urethane finish. If it works great then I can leave it on, if it fades out, I can sand it off and refinish the spot. I'm not sure enough about the durability of the procedure to put it under glass and epoxy. Works great on a guitar but they never see the exposure a yak will.
