Thread: Monster mud tombstone question

Tweet

I've been reading through the site for awhile now, and if this has been posted I've just missed it somehow.
This year I'm building a nice little graveyard in my lawn, pics will come later!
And I'm monster mudding my tombstones.
My question is, once the mud is set and dry, is it rain-proof/weather-proof?
or should I seal it with something?
and in that case, what do you all recommend?

I've used monster mud last year, to coat a costume of mine. But as I was able to stay indoors, and out of the rain I don't know how it
would have faired in the weather.

Thanks for the help!

monster mud is just joint compound..... you need to seal them with a poly clear coat, use flat, satin or glossy depending on what look you are going for, most choose flat or satin

I use this to seal my projects

I am with Johan, seal it and it will be good to go

The issue with the product I posted is it takes away some detail due to it's thickness. There are thinner products out there.

Seal it. The rain can do damage.

joint compound is 100% not waterproof for tombstones dryloc waterproofing paint works good it has a sand texture to it as well dryloc is a brand but behr has it and there are others about $20 somethin a can unless you can score one from the oops paint section for $5
