Hi Y'all. Had a small hole in my canoe (fiberglass) and someone at work suggested "Flex seal" you know..."As seen on TV." Well I got the Flex seal clear and gave it a go. Yep, it worked very well indeed! A nice clear rubber like coat , waterproof and strong. So I was thinking about my paper mache props of life size figures (Lizzy Borden, Jack the Ripper, zombies etc. Please see my album..) I'm thinking this would be a good way to weatherproof and strengthen paper mache props for little $$$ and get max longevity from them. What do you think? Has anyone tried this yet?

Thought about it, haven't pulled the trigger. Is it glossy?

Can't tell Ox, My canoe has a glossy finish. Your right though that would be a consideration.

I used the matte black version on my paper mache cannons last year. They spent the night out in the rain with no ill effects.

I tried the clear flex seal last year for some large leaves on my Man eating plant thing. I was using it mostly for texture and it wasn't too horrible. It gave a slightly rough texture and remained a fairly flat finish, as far as water proofing I bet it would work quite well.
