Ideas on refreshing some yard art
by
Nancy T
Need some ideas from crafty folks! I have some resin yard art that need repair, ie. wings glued on - what kind of glue to use? Also have some terra cotta pieces that need repainting. What kind of primer, paint & sealer last the longest? And am looking to paint some old bowling balls to look like pearls, same question about primer, paint & sealer. I am in Las Vegas so I need super heavy-duty sealer due to the scorching sun. Thanks for any help - I find so much great advice on this page!

I have used Multi-Purpose Cement made by the Henkel Corportion. It works good on the resin pieces. I have also heard of people using E-6000 glue. Think you can get it at your local Walmart or other hardware stores. Sorry, can't help you with the paints. All I have ever used is craft paint for outdoors and then sealed with polyurethane sealer, but most of my things are in the shade and have done well.

I love the new Krylon fusion paint. It works on plastic as well as other surfaces.

Pictures would help. E6000 works well on clay and plastic. For the bowling balls you need a primer and paint that works on polyurethane since that is what most of the balls of made of but a paint that works on plastic may work ok. Also don't know if you know someone with a kiln but if you wanted to do a low fire glaze on the terra cotta you could do that.
