Can this be used to protect a painting being displayed outside?

I would think it would provide a measure of protection from moisture to the surface upon which it was applied. However, the reverse surface would be susceptible to moisture. keep in mind that sunlight can do as much harm as water. I don't believe this product claims to protect from uva/uvb light.

I would not use it outside. It is light colored and would likely not last if it were kept outside unless it was covered every night to protect it from weather.

While there are no waterproof markings on the unit (I just checked), I don't think I would stick it outside unprotected. I think it would be fine if it was protected from moisture.

It has a protective coat on it but I couldn't say for sure, I use mine in an outdoor storage unit and it works wonderfully!

I think it would not be a good idea. I have already thrown away the empty can, but I believe it is for outdoor use only. It has a very strong unpleasant odor that last for a long time even when painted.

I live in Michigan where the weather is damp, so I wouldn't hang it outside. I suppose it depends on how humid it is. It's canvas stretched on a wood frame, so I imagine humidity would warp it.

It is canvas, you would NOT want it outside at all. Should not get wet and I would think it would fade in direct sunlight like any other print

I'm not sure but I don't believe it was intended for outdoor use the coating is more to protect them from chipping each other and themselves. sorry i can't be of more help

It can be used for outdoor projects if you use a clear varnish protective coating. My husband makes rain gauges and birdhouses that hold up well, if using a clear varnish coating.

I think it the weather conditions are right there would be no problem. I don't know how permanent the paint would be. There might be some kind of sealer available at the hardware store that would make it more permanent. We found it to be pretty sturdy, but it was always kept indoors.

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 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.

It's just a guess, but if the fixture in which it is mounted protects it from direct contact with the elements, I would say it is plausible for use out doors.

We are using it on our uutside deck it will remain there throughout the year. We will cover it when the weather get cold and nasty. It may be a good idea to put a protective coat on it

As far as the stand goes, I do not see why not. If you are going to leave exposed to the elements, i.e. rain, sleet, or snow, it is not "rust proof" although it is painted. Hope this helps.

If you paint it, it works for outdoor. I used Rustoleum outdoor paint and it's been on my patio for over a year.

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