Sealing acrylics

[Pappy]

The wife is going to paint a concrete flagstone and a bird bath. I bought some DryLoc to seal/prime them and she plans to use acrylics and latex to paint them. She wants to know if there is a good clear to seal the finished project against the weather.

Self-serving bump. I can't believe no one has an idea on how to do this....

Have a look at this stuff, Don. I've used it a lot, although never for what you need. It may do the trick, but they also do an acrylic for concrete here. HTH

There is a company, Faux Effects that makes products for professional muralists and decorative artists. They have a product called C500 Urethane that can be used for wet areas. I would call them (or one of their dealers) and get info and ask how best to apply it. I know that others have used it on sinks and bird baths with success.

Did a little more research and found out that if the artwork is going to be continuously wet or underwater, that an epoxy primer and topcoat would be the way to go. This is what Barth White recommended. He did some of the fountains at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas and owns a school and supply company for decorative finishing.

Also, I read on another forum that West System's epoxy was used to finish a teak bathtub on a yacht and it worked out very well.

Don - Don't fret. Found a few items that may work well. Read up on this stuff. And I was thinking that a Chattahoochee sealer could also work.
