I was looking for some method of reducing the temp in the conservatory

found this -

It might just be normal wallop (emulsion) with a higher price, I don't
know
but it does the trick.
We keep the pooches in there and they were gasping "water, shear me, I
can't
breathe".
Temp went down from 41C to about 30C, light level down by around 40%.
Anyway, the pooches gave me a round of apaws.

The advert says you can paint it onto glass - did you do this and how's it
stood the test of time?
At over £13 per litre, I'd want to be pretty dam' sure it wasn't going to
wash, or flake off the first time we get a downpour or snow on the roof.

I rollered it onto polycarbonate, about 12 sq mtrs of it.
We've had a fair bit of heavy rain and hail, it still looks the same, time
will tell.
