          How bright is the reflection on a sunny day once the color white drys
          ByFeb 1, 2025
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Hi Macc, the Dry-Coat™ paint has a flat finish (1º - 3º) with a geometry of 60º, which means it has minimal reflection. This low sheen helps reduce glare, making it suitable for surfaces where you want to avoid bright reflections, even on a sunny day.

            Can I paint the inside of wood planter boxes to stop them from absorbing water and ultimately rotting?

            Answer This Question

            Hi Carolyn, I would suggest for your type of application to use the Aqua-Proof Prep on the inside of the wood planter boxes, as this product can be used as a waterproofing system in planters or below grade applications.
