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. My local one is http://www.sbsg.com/concrete/overview/

re:  Good outdoor surface for painting an analemmatic dial

I am helping a local school make a "human" sundial, i.e. an analemmatic one, and the school is enthusiastic about the idea. (My daughter is a pupil at that school.) I have been liaising with the art teacher, and the suggestion is that one or more students studying art would mark out the layout of the dial on the tarmac/asphalt ground, and then paint on it. 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. Do you have any advice on how to get a good smooth outdoor surface to paint on (and we want the surface to retain the paint) ?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Gerard
