    :mad: Hi,

    Anyone know where to get non drying paint, having problems with kids sitting on my garden fence wearing off the paint, making the fence loose etc etc.
    Heard its a cross between paint and an oil, makes it hard for people to climb the fence also.

    Does MCR on Thomas Street stock it?

    Want something that will keep them off it once and for all.

    Thanks,

    Susan

    Since installing the padlocks and scarestrip there's been no further visits into our garden. And since I stood outside at each neighbours house in turn pointing at the little sh1ts saying nice and loudly "there he is again... it's ok though 'cos I've got his picture" they haven't been back... only the once though... to have a go at my neighbours new BMW... little fe<kers.

    A good old trick was plenty of Vaseline petroleum jelly. Not great on your clothes!

    You mean MRCB? Should do. I know it as Anti Vandal paint - foul stuff. Bear in mind it's like tar, and you shouldn't use it where people could casually touch it, or you'll end up with a lot of cleaning bills!

    Got anti-climb paint which was meant to be non-drying also but the pig dried out after a few weeks...:D Well it was fun while it lasted especially the way the wild cats out back used to fall off wall.

    I'd second the grease stuff,think its called blue grease it never dries.

    you put the anti climb paint on think, the layer on the top dries so you shouldn't come to harm if you casually touch it. However if you try to climb on it the sticky underside comes out.

    It shouldn't be put on a low wall / fence or anywhere people might acidentally come in contact with it.

    If it's on the top of a high wall you would be well advised to put up a sign warning of the danger. Otherwise you could be sued by some scumbag who breaks his neck after falling off the wall that you deliberately made slippery.
