Re: [VAL] Coffee can lid



I have had good luck in extending the life of plastic exposed to UV here 
in Florida by first spray painting with flat black then a final over 
coat of what ever color I need. The reason for the black stems from my 
building shade houses and using polypropylene shade cloth. The black 
likely comes from carbon which blocks most of the UV.

Best of growing,
