Is there something that can be used to seal the edges on vinyl graphics on a helmet? I'm concerned that with being slid in and out of the bag, some of the finer points may start to lift. The helmet is clear coated and I'm not sure what will stick.

We have used the edge sealer called SEALITPEN for small jobs (yours is small unless someone has a VERY big head :-)) , but on larger jobs it was recommended to use to use the 3-M edge sealer that comes in larger quanities and an applicator.

I use the One Shot SEAL-IT pen when I apply graphics to jetskis. Every point gets sealed down and anything below the bond line that will contact water at speed gets the entire edge sealed down.
The surface is already prepped and cleaned from the vinyl application so all I do is run the pen over the edge with no further prep. It holds just well enough to keep the vinyl from lifting yet if they want to remove the vinyl later on the clear can be removed with acetone or simply picked off.
