Q. Hello,
My name is Rich, an artist with a problem. I am making fountains with clear polyester resin. When exposed to water for a few weeks it turns white. I tried using a bar top clear coat and it last longer but still turns white. What could I coat this fountain with? Thanks

A. If you look for Modern Options Waterproof Sealer it sounds like that might help you.
Obviously no guarantees, never used it, can't comment on it. But it looks like it's up your alley for what you need.

Q. I have a concrete 3-tier outdoor contemporary water feature/fountain that was acid scrubbed, neutralized, and then stained with an acrylic semi-transparent tinted stain (non-acid based). The fountain is located in Phoenix, AZ in an uncovered courtyard with full exposure.
My question: what clear coat can/would be best applied in this situation that will do reasonably well with constant exposure to water, sun/UV, etc?
Thanks.
