Ge Sealant & Great Stuff

Hi all,
Well I am thinking about putting together an habitat for a Tree Frog (probaly Red eye). I have a couple of old aquariums the one I will use is around 15 gallons (24"x12"x14"). I have been doing alot of reading & planing, Anyway I come from across the water in the uk so finding stuff like Ge Sealant & Great Stuff use talk about is proving hard to find. Are there any alternatives or are there any one in the UK on here that knows of places to buy these from ? Any help would be great thanks guys.
David

Great Stuff is a polyurethane foam sealant for filling cracks in various materials. GE Sealant is a 100% silicone product for waterproofing seams and cracks. I'm sure that if these particular brands aren't available at your hardware stores, there will be something similar.

Thanks for the quick response. Could you tell me if this is the same as the version that most use ?

looks like the stuff to me... i'd check with froggsong to see if that's the stuff that bubbles though.

That stuff (or Stuff, I guess) should suit your needs.

Make sure your silcone is not mildew resistant type as I've heard that is very toxic to tree frogs. Maybe someone else has imput on this. Good luck

with appropriate cure time and time for the plants to settle in and root that should not be an issue as long as it's 100% silicone. it is something to take into account if it worries you.
