Does this protect from the sun fading my oil and acrylic paintings/art work?

Good question. That's the reason I got the window fade screen in the first place. One of my pictures was suffering from significant fading, and since I applied the fade screen to all the windows in the room, there has been no further fading. I highly recommend it.

YES! Our cover material is highly resistant to deterioration from UV. Great question. Thanks! - JWALT

I think it would be okay, but we bought this for a small oil painting (8 x 10) that is not covered in any type of glass and it works just fine. I can not be certain that it would not cause a glare on glass even though I doubt that it would. I am sorry that I am not more help.

Yes- but I park my car under a carport so it is shielded from the sun most of the time... The color doesn't seem to have faded at all...

I really don't know for sure, but I do not see why you can't. I used it on the windows near my art work so that the sun shining thru would not fade the paintings. I don't see any reason that you cannot put it directly on the glass that covers the photos or art. The only thing that I can think of is the clarity, typically you want the glass over the photos to be super clear, this is a film and you may get a slight reduction in the clarity. It would be better to put the film on the windows that allow the sun to shine in. Hope this helps.

Oil based paints might weaken (dissolve ) this, and latex might peel after a while in the sun.

Yes. This Ray Bloc is terrific stuff. Have used it on my yellow outdoor umbrella and chair cushions. SPF is the sun protection factor. A high factor works best to prevent fading and sun damage on fabrics exposed to the sun. Hope this helps.

I would use painter's tape along the edge of the board where you want to stop. Apply to that point, remove the tape as soon as you reach there. Applying in full sun may reduce the amount of time you have to even out your application but I don't recall having any particular difficulty working the product from shade to sun.

Back of Howard SunShield bottle says: Wood conditioner & protectant with UV inhibitors. SunShield is specially formulated to keep TEAK and other tropical hardwoods from drying, cracking and oxidizing due to exposure to sun, temperature variations, or moisture.

I think so! Maybe you want to prime the canvas first with something better for oils.

I think it will make the acrylic paint spread better. I used it on fabric chairs and the paint covered better and it is easily wiped/cleaned.

I have only used the Waterstop with UV protection. I have used it on both light and dark leather handbags. The light one I have is a bright yellow. I noticed no difference in the color after application.

It's a great gel stain. If you put four or more coats on as I have done in my entire kitchen and bathrooms, why yes, it will show everything in the direct sunlight. However, when the sun isn't shining on it directly, it does not. Fewer coats won't show as much as it won't be as dark. I used three coats of rub-on poly over five coats of stain. Came out beautiful.

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

Yes it has UV protection! It blocks out more sun than it looks like it would! I absolutely love this cover!! Don't know the weight but it's not really heavy! We covered our percula with it! Love it!

Yes, apply carefully because it lightly melts and discolors the surface of acrylic.
