Is the product weatherproof? I am looking for something to sculpt garden fairy houses.

well, Ive never used it for permanent outdoor projects, but my guess is that it would hold up. It cures to be as hard as resin, much tougher than a polymer clay.

No it is not waterproof, submerge it in water and it will be soft and will come apart. It may take some time to do so, but it eventually will. Varnish will do a better job of waterproofing the project.

While it appears to be completely sealed and weather resistant, I believe I read in the accompanying literature that it is not officially rated for exterior applications. I would trust using it in under a soffit if it did not rain directly on the light.

Well, it depends in part where you're using it and how much it's going to have to stand from wind/rain/etc. I put some on a chicken coop over a year ago and most of it looks just like the day I put in on. One side gets more of the weather, and I probably needed to give it an extra coat as a result, but it still looks pretty decent. I'm sure there are more durable options, but for a water-based product this is impressive.

I used mine outside with no problem. They really are nice/unique. I live at the beach so filled jar with sand and shells and it is really pretty at night.

The other answers are pretty accurate. I don't believe this would serve you well outdoors unless it was well-sheltered from any moisture. The metal is not easily discernible, but is likely heavy tin with a bronze-like top finish. It's sturdy but not built for wear and tear. We also use it as an interior wall sconce and have no complaints whatsoever.

Hi Martha, I have not used this on outdoor products. I imagine the sun will cause the paint to crack over time.

I don't know if it can be used outdoors, but I would not try it. I don't think the paint/coating would hold up very well in the elements, and the lamp base is frosted but still see-through, so if bugs or dirt got inside, you would definitely see it.

I had good luck with it in my attic; however, it is not made of weather resistant materials, so I would not try it outside.

I have had two different styles of these on my side and front porch all summer. It has a nice glaze, and I wouldn't see a problem with them being totally outside, unless they got clinked by a rock or something a lawnmower might fling. I will be putting them into the garage over the winter, as with all my other yard and garden stuff, other than the rocks. We live in Northern Michigan. I use as side tables, but can sit on them...

I would not mount this kit outdoors. Certainly not expect it to hold up in severe weather.Contrary to C. Schafer's response, however, this kit DOES have a seal around the door. The box is all plastic though, so with 2 hinges and 1 latch, a good seal would not be made. Judging by the design, I would say this kit was designed to be weather 'resistant', not weather 'proof'. I can personally vouch that it can be left out in a light to moderate rainfall and survive it just fine, maybe a couple small areas that a drop or two made it through.On a side note, if the mounting outside isn't a deal breaker for you, this is a very nice kit for the price!

I have this one. It's great inside. I would not use it outside. I don't think it will last too long there (at least not in Florida). For outdoor - you can make a screen from bamboo cutting yourself. Some people give away bamboo cuttings on Craigslist. Get creative, connect them and paint.

not weather resistant, its a gorgeous, sturdy, beautiful wooden bench. If left outside it will swell.

Yes, the product is weatherproof. I've had mine outdoors and exposed to the weather for about six months and it's still just as bright as on day 1. I recommend sealing the power connection with silicone to avoid corrosion from trapped moisture where the plugs meet. I can view out to about 100' with this illuminator and my IP Camera. Just make sure that your camera can 'see' the 850 nm infrared, I used my TV remote control with its 850 nm (dull red) led as a test. Yes, you will be able to see the illuminator' dull red glow--but you have to look at it to see it.

Since the description does not say it is weatherproof, I would not use it outdoors.

I use it in decorative crafts that aren't subject to scratches, dents or harsh weather. Don't know that it would hold up well for the project you describe. If you try, follow mix instructions closely or you'll have sticky goop.

I believe the rain, sun, and wind would damage it severely. You need wood that is treated and finished specifically to handle outside elements. Outdoor furniture made of Teak or Cypress tend to be built more solidly than this finely carved screen. And because of that they can hold their shape while the elements beat down on them.
