Re: Advice please: Good outdoor surface for painting an analemmatic dial
I used a paint for concrete on asphalt for an analemmatic about 13 years ago. It held up for a few years at least, but then the school repaved the area. -Bill G.

Re: Advice please: Good outdoor surface for painting an analemmatic dial
Search on "Tennis Court Paint" and you will get all kinds of interesting info...some advertise minimal surface prep and they are non-skid . Most appear to be acrylic. I haven't used any but am considering for a schoolyard project as well Tom - Original Message - From: "rPauli" To: sundial@uni-koeln.de Sent: Thursday, May 2, 2013 12:25:24 PM Subject: Re: Advice please: Good outdoor surface for painting an analemmatic dial Acrylic concrete adheres nicely, takes coloring well.

So both a scientific and artistic project. The difficulty we face is that the tarmac/asphalt surface is quite grainy and not good to paint on.

Re: Advice please: Good outdoor surface for painting an analemmatic dial
Acrylic concrete adheres nicely, takes coloring well. But it is toxic as it is applied, then dries hard, safe and durable. Any concrete/plaster provider should have good advice about products that adhere to asphalt.
