I need to weather proof a paper attached to outdoor posting signs. Will this work for me?

This should work well as a lot of mariners use it to waterproof their maps when boating. I would put at least 3 coats on, with a drying time of 1 hour between each coat.

Hi Cindy,I don't know, I've never tried using it for that purpose. Might it be better to laminate the paper.

I have used number and letter decals which have survived a particularly harsh New Hampshire winter. I would assume good quality decorative vinyl decals will be serviceable as well. The only concern should be the summer heat , which did shrink my "Dayton Flyers" decals about 1/4", on a previous metal mailbox. I have yet to experience a summer with my MailMaster.

It has thus far. We live in an area (Southeast Zone 9) with plenty of heavy driving rain and used it to put decals on a mailbox years ago, perhaps around a decade. The mailbox post gave out before the glue did. Now I have used this order for a lot of outdoor products, and while less than a month old, they are holding up perfectly. My one warning would be that it holds up so strong that once there, don't expect to remove the glued items without damage to one or both. Good luck!

I'm positive it will work for this application. I urge you to follow the directions to the letter. My headliner is still holding strong after several months.Best of luck to you with your project.

I'd recommend a very heavy paperboard as a backer/backboard. Then use this as an attachment board to tape/attach your signage on. I've also used thin corrugated plastic and make signs out of that. Measure the thickness to know how thick the media can be.

I would not recommend using this as an outdoor tent. It is not weather proof and has vinyl material.

Definitely!!!! I would not leave it out in bad weather just in case but mine works great outside!!!!!

I have only used it on my sculptures, that remain inside. But given the type of tape that it is, I would think it could come off easily outside due to the weather--rain and wind especially

hmmm, not really sure! I know it isn't as 'weatherproof' as touted - the colors ran and paper deteriorated when I posted 'lost cat' pictures on poles. If you are using inside with minimal water I don't see much reason why stencils wouldn't work... good luck!

The manufacturer doesn't list outdoor use for the camera. My opinion is that it is not weather proof in any way. It would probably work if enclosed in a glass or acrylic bubble however this unit is quite big and very wide when taking the antenna mount into consideration. I have one in a bay window with three panes and that works extremely well for 180 degree outside views.

Yes, this product appears to be waterproof. However, I am not sure how long it would last outside. My guess is you might need a heavier product.

I think a double sided removable outdoor tape would work best. I have found the performance of these is far less than I expected, maybe your results will differ

Probably work fine. Consider 3M Weatherstrip Adhesive. Either way, crucial to clean the bonding surfaces, and follow instructions regarding letting it dry some before sticking parts together.

I used this paper in a indoor location,I do not feel it would hold up outdoors or where there is moisture

Yes, youbcan use this outdoors. Just to help with weather-proofing, I put a small piece of plastic mounted right above the camera "tube".

I have only used it to cover the insides of windows, so don't know how well it will last outdoors. I think it's not strong enough to resist tearing via impaction of sharp objects. But it is reasonably strong. If I were to consider outdoor usage, as you are, then I would buy one roll and give it a try. Just be sure to attach it to your support points/framing such that those points don't initiate tearing under stress (wind, etc.). I suspect it may prove adequate.

It would make it water resistant- not waterproof. You might want to test it out on something unimportant first, to see if it runs. I also suggest that you spray lightly in several coats, and keep the nozzle of the can at least 12" away from the surface of the test print to prevent drips and runs from the spray pressure. You might also want to give the back of the print two or more coats to help prevent seepage in case it does get wet! That being said, there are photo paper out there that have a coating already on the paper that prevents water damage- last time i saw this photo paper was at Best Buy- you might want to check it out before using the spray. :)
