Just got a beautiful 3'x5' NOS Marfak sign that was packed in bubble wrap. Now I've got circles in the red area. Before I destroy this trying to remove them any suggestions? My experience says the are there to stay. HELP!!!

I always wrap my stuff with paper towels (before any kind of wrap) because of this. I'd try a wax, lightly. Don't think you'll hurt a thing that way. If they're on the red, they're on the white, black and green ?

This is why we are supposed to wrap with the circles to the outside. Best of luck!

I've never had it happen as long as I wrap with the circles pointing out. I also use a water based bubble wrap which helps. It's actually semi-organic and turns to water if exposed to heat and direct sunlight.
I don't doubt the paper towels would help too.

I treated my cans the same way when shipping. I always treated everything like a cars finish. Would you put bubble wrap (either side on your car ?) or news print ?
Just saying....

Sign is looking great. Will post in BOTW. Paper towel works great for smaller signs. This thing really needed a sheet. I wouldn't put any bubble wrap, either side, against a painted surface. Thanks Again!

I agree- I NEVER bubble wrap a painted sign- the oil in the plastic will bleed every time - I've even had it damage a powder coated surface. Should be ok with porcelain. I've never tried the "green" bubble wrap?

I've never had an issue with a sign shipped to or from me but I can see the point.
I just started using the green wrap last year. Had no issues so far and used it on everything I have shipped, painted metal, tin, porcelain, you name it. It's water based so I doubt it has any oils to leave a mark.
