Amanda,

It sounds like your ink is very soluble in acetone. You need to try another
ink that will not dissolve when the B-72 is applied. Another suggestion is to
let the B-72 resin fully cure before applying the number, and then let the ink
full dry before applying the top coat of B-72. This can be affected by
temperature, humidity, and ventilation, of course. Do a test in the area where you do
your numbering and when the B-72 is no longer tacky and is hard then that is
your clue that it has cured.

Cheers!
Dave
