    This is one of my Bird Baths in the garden. It's pretty old and is now starting to leak water from the bowl. There's no cracks in the bowl and I suspect that the concrete is absorbing the water and dripping out from the sides of the bowel. Can any one recommend some sort of water proofing that won't look unsightly or be poisonous to the birds drinking out of it? Ideas would be appreciated!!:snork:

        I soaked a kitchen towel in it, the sort that's meant to absorb anything.

        You could have used it to hold a cup of tea afterwards.

        I was going to post you some, but then I remembered you drinking the Toilet Duck when you thought no one was looking, remember what that did to your insides.
