I bought several nice sized plastic display containers today at a discount outlet. They look like a small bird bath on a pedistal inside a larger container bottom. They will be ideal for displaying my sempervivum collection. My concern is that they are a thin cheap brown plastic that is likely UV resistant, but are so flimsy that I think they will not hold up long. So I am thinking of trying to paint or coat them with something that would protect from the UV, as well as strengthen them.
I was wondering if a thin layer of papercrete would work. Anybody ever try to do this or have other suggestions? I think it will be a problem to get something to adhere to the plastic.
I'll post a pic in the next day or so - weather too much of a mess today to get one.
Thanks
