OT - Painted Terracotta Sealer?
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. -- Wanda aka Willow The missing and definitely not to be taken seriously under any circumstances garden gnome http://www.2000cn.com.au/~willow ~~faeries are able to fly because they take themselves lightly~ |

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 ;) -- Wanda aka Willow The missing and definitely not to be taken seriously under any circumstances garden gnome http://www.2000cn.com.au/~willow ~~faeries are able to fly because they take themselves lightly~ silvasurfa wrote in message ...

Not sure what sealant to use, but make sure you seal it on every surface that will get wet, otherwise you might have stains appear from the inside out too. Terracotta dog eh? Guess we all have our weak spots when it comes to kitsch. I refuse to confirm or deny whether my yard has ever harboured a gnome. |
