Silicone around the glass and seams is setting up nicely after a bit of a mess :S had to remove all the silicone from one side and start over since I wasn't happy with the results. All is good now.. Next thing is to set up a draining system.. Going to let everything set up for a day or two then...

Any hardware or paint store will carry polyurethane. I'm currently building an enclosure, there are some pics on the "New Enclosure" thread. I didnt stain the wood, although I thought about staining is dark walnut since the trim and doors are stained that way. I sanded the whole cage with 120...

HAHAHAHA! I Just finished siliconing the seams and was just wishing that I went with converting an entertainment unit! there has been A LOT of work done so far and I still have the door to varnish, silicone, mount, install the screen, and get stuff to fill it.. The current enclosure is roughly...

Just an update on how this enclosure is going.. I can't wait to finish this bloody thing. all the pieces assembled and first coat of varnish. need to find a 2" and 3" drill bit though, I do have the hole saws but they may be a little too aggressive

One more question.. As far as venting goes I have a 3" round vent on each side and three 2 inch round vents in the front that will be mounted close to the bottom and a fully screened top.. would that be enough?

Thanks, I will post pictures when its complete and when its all set up.. The plastic definitely is not stuff for covering lights since it is not transparent at all, completely opaque right through it.

I found some sort of plastic sheet at the hardware store today, some sort of industrial plastic..they called it "corrlam" but I cannot find anything on google about the stuff.. I cut it to size and attached it to the melamine.. It's different looking stuff for sure, should be good for siliconing...

I have the melamine already.. At this point it would be difficult to put glass or plexiglass on the floor/back since the sides are together and I wouldnt be able to saw the grooves into the wood to hold the sheet now.. what about using the melamine and then siliconing corrugated plastic over top...

so even using just the melamine for the back and bottom would be a problem? I'm not worried about the cost savings, I just figured with the coating on the melamine it would hold up alright as long as the ends were sealed from the water.. also as of right now (can still change it) I have one...

I already have the front and two sides assembled.. The main question I have is if the melamine will hold up after sealing the seams with silicone or should I use something else or cover the melamine with something like a sheet of acrylic.. I'm planning on putting tree fern panels along the back.

Hello I'm building a new enclosure for my 8 month (I think) Red bar ambilobe. I'm building it out of oak and glass.. The top is aluminum screen and the front and two sides are glass with melamine for the back and bottom. The question I have is would it be alright to use the melamine.. I'm...
