Thread: Prop weatherprfoofing

Tweet

I found a Gemmy reaching hand. It looks, when activated, like a zombie climbing outta the grave. I found that at Lowe's. I found a 28 incb animated Grim Reaper at Cvs. Both are indoor props, but I was gonna use both in my outdoor graveyard display. My question is IS there a way to weatherproof indoor props, to make them usable outdoors? Thanks.

Depending on what you mean by weatherproofing I assume you are speaking of moisture and wind? I know for alot of my paper mache props I used polyurthane to seal out moisture. Wind resisting is trickier, I always used stakes and hoped for the best. Also, make sure to "brand" your props somewhere for theft reasons. Hope this helps somewhat.
