Search results for query: Drylok

I've mostly seen Drylok used on carved foam backgrounds to seal them, and allow a paintable surface. It is a masonry sealant, so not sure how well it would work on wood. The flex seal is basically just a liquid rubber.

Bill’s link is a thorough explanation. You can find plenty of videos on YouTube on covering it with silicone and substrate or painting it with drylok to make it look more natural.

...thin spray coats. If no possibility of scratching through it, a couple/few coats of spray should be fine. I say multiple coats because there can always be pinholes, thin spots, or even gaps, so 2nd/3rd coats are more likely to fill. I have not used Drylok, so no experience/opinion either way,.

...because you get to see what's going on as it's happening instead of just reading a paragraph or looking at pics. Yes, you will apply the DryLok to the carved foam. I've never used the DryLok, but would assume it's purpose is going to be similar to silicone - to waterproof and conceal the...

...can see in both of these examples that I'm going backwards to edit things that I cut corners on. On another note, I've also seen people use DryLok with cement coloring instead of silicone and substrate/bare foam. Either way, if you plan to silicone or drylok you'll want to shave/cut off the...

You're a life saver! I really appreciate you talking with me about this. This is my first reptile, and I want him to have the very best life. So, my other idea is to use plywood on the back, and attach a thin sheet of plexiglass to it or maybe the currugated plastic sheet and then put the foam...

Yes the dry lock is what I was talking about. I am new to this so if I sound like an idiot I apologize. I have not found any blogs or YouTube's doing what I'm about to do and so it's hard to make sure I'm doing it all right. I've just been piecing it together. In my case I'll be putting the foam...

...does not get below 65 at night? Thank you! Sorry not 100% sure what this is referring to. Great thank you. The background is sealed using drylok and concrete so it is pretty solid but do you think a panther could still make a dent in it? I am planning on bioactive (have isopod and...

...used Krylon Fusion spray paint in my enclosures. It works well and is non-toxic once it has dried. It does need a week or so to dry before it's safe to use. I have used it on top of DryLok which I have used to waterproof wooden enclosures, and I have also used it on screen to prevent corrosion.

I painted the whole inside, including the back, with 2 coats of drylok. Then I painted on gorilla glue and pressed coco fiber and sphagnum moss onto the background. The gorilla glue expands so you have to keep pressing it down for the first 20 minutes or so after you apply it. I did another...

...set up with no animals in it. Thanks for the links! We did seal everything. The foam was yellow then to seal we used aquarium sealer and drylok and coloring that was used by many reptile owners ( everything going in was researched to be safe ) The bio active soil is from my worm farm and...

Oh. My. God. I’m getting my sea legs at chutes and ladders and there you go with that wizard chess. It’s a thing of beauty.

FlexSeal or drylok. FlexSeal is expensive but it creates a surface your Cham can grip without hurting his nails. My most recent build: https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/bioactive-mentor.167174/

...how it looks so far. I think next time I'll try something other than expanding foam though. Maybe styrene boards carved and covered with drylok? One issue I had with the foam is that it didnt stick entirely to my rubberized cabinet. It stuck in ~70% of it, but in some areas after the foam had...

Wow thanks so much for the recommendations, I'll check to see if these products are sold near me or if I can get them off amazon.ca. Do yo find that the flex seal scratches off or?

...Cage Type - This is a homemade enclosure. Technically an irregular hexagon, but close to a rectangular 5’ x 2’ x 5’. Wood frame, foam + Drylok background, screen on two sides and on top, glass doors in front. The enclosure is bioactive and currently home to springtails, giant canyon...

For a jury chameleon, around 8 months old, should be feeding him around 8-10 medium sized dubia, crickets, silkworms, hornworms etc. every other day. I would buy from an online feeder breeder (lol that rhymed) due to risk of parasites via pet store feeders. It is also cheeper. I buy my dubia...

...outdoors and indoors so it stands up to uv. I do have a question/ suggestion though. If you're putting corrugated pvc over it why not just use drylok ,also available at home depot, then glue on your pvc and silicone seams? The suggestion side is rather then corrugated pvc grab plastex for...
