Question
I have a boy and girl statues that I would like to place outside, they have been painted for inside use. Is there anything I can spray them with to protect them from the weather so I can put them outside?
Hi Karen, The best product is a traditional wood glue. I don't know what products are available to you but the one to use is a water soluble white looking that dries clear. Here is the web page of the product in Australia.

You dilute it with water up to 50:50, it will dry hard and clear and be completely weather proof. If you want to put more than one layer on let the first one dry out. I suggest using a small area of the statue as a test area first before full application.

| Comment | I appreciate the information, just haven't been able to try it yet. We've been in extremely hot weather and also keeping our eyes on the direction of hurricanes. Thank you. I'll let you know when I do weatherproof them though. | ||
