I do not but I can made a suggestion how to possibly improve. Dark green flags with white littering are excellent when new. I would try to use marine grade epoxy type stuff to put a clear coat over the flag; just coating flat parts with letters should be sufficient. Epoxy would fill the groves and protect from dirt to accumulate inside. It would add an extra protection to the flag as well. Perhaps somebody have better idea - I received several emails from banders cursing the flags/bands they are using.Here is one example but I am sure somebody knows or can find even better one.SC110 is an epoxy polymer coating for metal, concrete, wood, fiberglass and other surfaces requiring a clear coating. SC110 is a specially formulated 2- component epoxy with a modified cycloaliphatic amine curative. SC110 combines a UV absorber coupled with a hindered amine light stabilizer which inhibits degradation of the epoxy from sunlight. SC110 forms a highly durable wear resistant surface that is semi-flexible, impact resistant, and resistant to water, traffic, fuel, oil, and mild acids. SC110 exhibits excellent corrosion and chemical resistance and is designed for marine grade applications as well.If somebody will try my suggestion I would like to hear if this work or not.Best regards,Mark</blockquote>
