I spray it with Krylon "Crystal Clear"....it dries in less than a minute and it seals and preserves the art,...won't smear and it's water proof...the stuff is magic on cork!!

BTW,...had a situation in Nashville where a dude bought 4 Extreme Combo's to have me do fish and baits on the handles,..his 8-10yr old boy stood there and watched with eyes the size of baseballs...he kept saying "Dad,..I want a tshirt,...will you buy me a t-shirt?!"....His old man said,.."Quiet Boy!!,,....I ain't buyin' you a t-shirt..They're too expensive!!" (at $14.95, I have NO control over what BPS sells them for),..but I was so p-o'd at that "Dad",..for spending $280-300 bux on himself for those 4 combo's and he wouldn't buy his kid a $15 tshirt!!
I almost painted a (censored) image on his handles!! What a jerk!!..
