kennysh said:I am experimenting with Flex seal spray on plastic coating on outdoor plant labels, seems to be doing well, says it has uv. Protection. Can find it at most big box stores. A little expensive, but goes a long ways. Smiling


Thank you for the suggestion. I shall look into that. The Krylon I use works very, very well on cloth, resin, other plastics, etc. It is rather expensive at about $15 per can. I generally spray on three coats. You have to let each coat dry before you add another coat. Just importantly, you have to remember to retreat everything every year. I read that before. I should have known better. That is what I get for rushing and trying to get absolutely everything done by myself. I have already made a promise to myself that next year I shall start getting ready much sooner. I thought I was up on everything by putting out my picks and other decor for my porch a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving, but really, I should have planned to get things retreated, etc., at least two more weeks before all of that. Christmas is the only time I do much decorating out of doors. It is special to me. Just have to do a lot better planning and executing next year if I am still alive! Smiling
