Willow,

resist water-borne coatings and go for the slate & tile sealers you see at
paint stores & hardwares. Usually acrylic so good weathering resistance &
paint both inside & out to stop back staining.

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.
