Do you think that if I mixed this stuff with an acrylic add mix that it would hold together if it was exposed to winter elements?
I missed this one Darol......... what were ya gonna put it on? I used it to cover some plywood on the carport 15-20 years ago and it's still holding up. I primed the plywood and also some OSB, then made a blotchy stucco like surface then primed and painted it with a couple coats of paint. Held up amazingly well for an experiment.OK. I found the answer. No.
I tried to talk my friend into loosening all of the the bolts and using a couple of jacks and wedges or shims to get it 1/4 inch off the slab, to run some butyl rubber caulk under the metal, then removing the shims. His weighed about 4500 lbs and I think 2 or 3 bottle jacks would have worked to gently raise it one side at a time until the entire building was off the slab. I couldn't talk him into that, so I don't know if it would have been as easy as I think it would have been.When I ordered the building, I assumed that they would run the metal over the side of the slab, creating a perfect rain guard. Wrong again. They use to do it that way, but apparently, some of the redheads/mounting bolts, were cracking the slab at the edge, so they went to the set back design, which raises hell for the owner. I ended up running a bead of the Geocel around it and that stopped the rain issue. They should have ran a bead under the bottom of the wall just before it stood up Seems simple to me.
