| I use polyurethane, shellac, varnish, clear acrylic spray, wax, even shoe polish it all works depending on the surface texture and what you do with the finished item. (imo) Robert |

| Is the surface of the concrete items sound/solid or is it weathered, flaking, grainy,...? |
forgot to ask...
| | |
| Are the items outside? Exposed to weather? Have some protection? |

| I use concrete sealer from Home Depot, whether I paint things or not. But if I paint them, I often put poly on top. hugs, Karen |

| They were outside for years. Have had them in garage for a couple of years, looks like they have "large pores". Should I put them on a heat vent to be sure they are dry all the way through? Guess I also seal the bottom if I am sure there is no moisture in there, right? |
