I have a copper wind spinner. Will this keep the shine being exposed to outdoor elements?

I am not sure but I believe that it will keep the 'shine' for a long time , eventually needing recoating.

I haven't tried that, but I wouldn't think lacquer would last very long outdoors. I would try some kind of polyurethane, but I'd check the can to see if it sticks to copper. Sorry, only an opinion from a non-expert.

I used this on a brass plug in a bathroom sink and it has worked better than the other brass lacquer I've used. If I were trying to keep copper outdoors from turning color I would probably use this and respray when it was no longer turns water

There are hook attachments that hold the cover down at the corners. I used these to attach each corner to the deck using a 2" or 3" screw and had no problem with wind. If you put each screw through a washer, the screw will not slip through the hole in the loop in the hook attachment.

I have a painting that has been outside 5 years and there is no rust or change in the wire. It is a somewhat protected area, no rain..slight sun. I have used this wire that long and would use nothing else. Susan

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

I haven't had this particular issue, but I am very careful about not using it in windy conditions. My deck is off the back of a bi-level house, which puts the umbrella at a good height to even catch slight breezes. However, I can say that it does not spin by hand if I use the tightening knob.

Yes it will. I love mine. I work outside dust, elements haven't hurt either.

This was my concern also. In my opinion, yes, over time. I took a rectangular clear plastic top from a sealed container which covered an item I had purchased and attached it with stick on velcro to the side of this unit. It made a pretty good weather guard. The rotating lock code numbers are not weather proofed and could allow moisture in. To me, over time this would have to have a corosion factor.

Hi Gary, I think Renaissance was would not be a good choice for an outside application. However I would apply a coat of clear polyurathane to the copper fence post covers.

"Outdoor" is a loose term. I would prevent any water from coming into contact with the unit. However I believe the product would hold up to dust and dirt. Heat may degrade the magnet over time. The cold may not have any affect on it.

Sorry, no. Ours is used outside of the shower. I am never surprised when this type of article does rust tho. It's only coated wire and never does as well at the corner joins as in the middle of the wire lengths. Wondering if it's an enamel type coating if a light coating of car wax occasionally might help, as may be suggested by washer/dryer and wheelchair manuals.

I'm not sure about keeping out rain or how it would do outside. I might do well on both accounts, but it's hard to tell. It does have some metal inside in the open/close mechanism. We use the bucket for kitchen scraps to take to the compost so it is slightly moist inside our bucket and so far there has not been any problem with corrosion of the metal. But don't know what would happen if there's lots of rain moisture. Sorry I can't be of more help since I haven't used the bucket outside. It's such a good price, might be worth a try. It sure is a nice can for indoor use.

The shiny part is magnetic and gets pretty hot. If it touches plastic, it might melt it.Sounds like you may be better off using something like a hair dryer.

We live in Arizona where the winds getting pretty strong... so far it has not had a problem... you might want to use a wire coat hanger to keep the reflectors stiffer

I've used this product in a semi-outdoor setting. I definitely would avoid exposure to water, rain, moisture,etc. Its not a sealed unit, nor is it water proof-but it still creates a great water effect.

It will work where ever you put it. If you want to mount it outside where it is exposed to the elements, the company has a exterior magnetic case available.

I have no idea. This was a gift to my nephew. It is copper, so I suspect it will oxidize and lose its shine. Also it is not heavy, so exposure to the elements will eventually lead to corrosion.

I use this product,I have not found a brass lacquer that is rated for exterior use. I have however, used it for exterior purposes. It slows tarnishing though not the ultimate solution for outdoor, it is better than having to re-polish frequently. It does however work quite well for internal use.
