Like with lacquer or something, maybe.

Yes, something like that.

Hmm. I want that cane now.

I really wanted a flame cane.
First thought was a cane that shoots flames. :laugh:

That would be even cooler.

Maybe you can find an artist to make you a unique flamed one, with paint, not stickers.
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!

Paint should still be sealed on a cane. Some of them scratch rather easily.

Yes, it should be sealed in, but even sealed in, stickers could be quite vulnerable, once the protective lacquer gets scratched. Moisture could seep underneath it. With paint the damage would be restricted to the area the damage in the lacquer is.

You're right, of course. It's not an expensive cane, though, so maybe I'd just order a new one.

  I'm going to be 50 soon, so I wanted to post in here while I'm still fortysomething.  :autism:

My age is approximately 1.5 times forty years, but I have never been a "consistently"  grumpy old cuss.

I have my dark days, but I am generally a very happy person and will make a joke instead of an insult where possible.
I am brave.
