We used professional grade materials with this fountain. We wanted it to be able to go inside or outside and last a long time. There are other materials such as Outdoor Mod Podge, which would probably work for a shorter life-span. You would also want to scuff up the surface to make sure there was really good adhesion. It would not work in the fountain cups where the water goes. If you were only going to use the fountain inside, you might be able to skip the fiberglass resin and substitute in clear Epoxy. However, over time it is possible that the epoxy might cloud so be sure to run tests if this matters to you.
When working with Solvent Urethane and Fiberglass Resin, you will need high quality polyester glitters that are solvent resistant. The "floors" section of our site offers many color choices.
