Is there a way to seal this so the paint does not peel?

I never thought of that, maybe a clear coat of of some kind of spray...something that wouldn't hurt the bird's drinking out of it. Let me know what u find, Please.

I'm not sure what protective coating you could put on it that wouldn't harm the birds. I'm not worrying about the paint peeling, though. I've had it out in mid 90-degree weather and it looks fine. I plan on bringing mine into the garage in the winter and that should protect the coating on it and keep it from bubbling due to ice, etc.

Maybe an outdoor polyurethane, however I would be concerned how it would affect the birds.

I haven't had the need to yet, but maybe you should look for a spray top coat sealer. I have seen them near the spray paint in Home Depot.

Any plastic paint (like plasti dip) that resists a little heat would do. Just make sure it's made for plastic.

Use a wax remover or good wood cleaner first and perhaps rough the surface with scotch bright then it will stick and seal. This is the best wood coating I have ever used and I think you will like the results also. Good luck, Old Nick.

Hi, just take it of with a plastic knife (or plastic tool) so not to scratch the paint....

I used a permanent spray-on adhesive, not a temporary one. It still comes a little loose in places at times, and I have to respray, but overall works quite well.

My best suggestion will be a hot glue gun. Since its thick enough to fill in all the air gaps in between plus it's removable when it's dry, you can just peel the glue off. Good luck!

I honestly cannot tell you that. But I would try some kind of cooking oil and rub it on with your hand then try a soft cloth to take it off. Let it on for awhile to try and soften the paint.

I did not try, but I think it is a good idea. It should work, since the paint will probably not disturb/change, e.g. the thickness of the material. Good luck!

I haven't prevented the rust. Perhaps spraying it with some clear sealer would work.

Use a gloss black primer, and then paint *extremely* light coats of chrome, building it up slowly. I find that 2-3 coats works best, and it dries very quickly in between coats. I have looked everywhere for a "manual" or directions, but have not found one, so the info I am giving you is based on my own tests. I tried it many different ways, and only gloss black with light chrome coats gave me the high polish results I was looking for. It should also be sealed if it's going to be even lightly handled, and again the sealing should be done with a very light hand. I would recommend testing on plastic spoons to make sure you have things right before you go to model, as stripping this stuff is a real PITA. Happy Painting!

Probably not since there is obviously a some kind bonding issue with the existing paint by trying to apply more paint can actually cause it to peel worse due to the chemical reaction with the different paints

A lot of people have told me that glueing them is the best option, however, if you've used them enough times or if you add some water to it, the paint will stick itself to the container.

We gently pulled it off recently because we moved. It didn't peel the paint off but we took our time. Although, we were not able to reuse it at the new home.

I sprayed mine with polyurethane to cover up some mess ups.. worked out real well... so I assume you could paint it as well..

This is actually double sided tape so it cant be painted over even if you kept one side unused cos the plastic surface is too smooth n therefore unlikely to hold the paint. Hope this helps.

You would have to use a paint product made specifically for plastic. Other types of paint would easily peel off.

Hopefully its on glass...use a razor blade and some water with a small amount of dish soap, if its on a painted surface, use a blow dryer and heat the decal, it will soften up and pull slowly, Goof off will remove the adhesive from the paint, just use a small amount of it.
