Hello,
I have a design made out of cardboard that I will be keeping outside
in the elements. �I need it to be able to hold rain water inside it,
so I'm wondering if there is any way to water proof it? �Here are some
ideas:
1) �What If I painted it with an oil based paint?
2) �How about using epoxy glue and covering the entire inside?
3) �What about coating the inside with Portland Cement?
4) �I could coat the inside with tin foil, then use epoxy on the
joints?
Is there a much better idea than these?
Thanks
It's not possible to waterproof cardboard. �I would buy some thin
sheetmetal (flashing?) and use your cardboard design as a pattern to cut
the metal.
