Hi

I just bought a painted terracotta digging dog for my enclosed garden (it's
half a dog, the rest is supposedly in a hole). Just wondering if anyone has
any ideas of what kind of sealer I can use that will repel water & stains
while not affecting the paint.

I use two coats of Cabot's Exterior Varnish. Seems to last for years.

ah, there you go! My house is full of gnomes, dragons, trolls etc. They're
all fairly unique & well made (not the cheap n nasties you get at
supermarkets), they all also have names & job descriptions. Not to mention
their own page on my website ;)
