I have a 10ft high chainlink fence around the rear of my property
and want to cover the top 2ft with non-setting anti-climb paint, the type that deters intruders. Obviously I'm goiing to need a lot of the gooey stuff and it's fairly expensive at around 8GBP per litre. So I was considering making a cheaper subsitute by mixing lower priced diy materials. Perhaps grease mixed with a little oil-based paint for example? Or is there anything I can use to thin down non-setting roof-repair mastic? Has anyone tried something like this before, or do you have any ideas or suggestions of what to try? Would appreciate some thoughts. Cheers - Greg |

Allegedly engine oil mixed with regular oil based sic paint will do the job but I have not tried this. I imagine a litre will go quite far if you use a roller. -- fred |

When you have done painting, plant a pyracantha and train it to grow up and
long the top. Nice sharp thorns as well as flowers and berries. |
