Sealing MDF?

[coldbloodedAL]

So I am building some vivs using MDF, I am trying to figure out the best solution to seal them.. For my "closet cage" I used 2 coats of DryLok, then about 5 coats latex paint, im not sure how well its going to hold up, and if I should go that route with these vivs. What I dont want is to see the MDF, ex. No clear sealers or laquers. Any thoughts?

Whats MDF? I used spray on bed liner for the inside of my box. Layered first with Rocks, than dirt, than top layer of rocks. Everything is leaning towards the drain and I havent had a problem yet.

medium density fiberboard?

Yeah med density fiberboard. Good idea w/ the bedliner, but its black. I prefer no black lol

basement sealer. You can get it in white. It wont seal the huge gaps but should be fine if you built your cage with decent tolarances

That is basically what drylok is, foundation sealer..

What about shop floor coating?

Are you looking for a different seal or just checking if yours will work? The shop floor sealer is epoxy and will seal absolutely everything! Its pricy though.
