Viv question

ShammySilverwolf · #1 (**permalink**) 10-10-2009, 10:56 PM

I want to start my first viv, i have toyed with the idea of using the "MAKE IT STONE" spray you find at places like Canadian Tire. I know i would probably have to seal it, would the sealer that goes with it be harmful to my frogs, or any suggestions to what other sealer? Thanks

Hmmmm... thank you! That makes the product sound terrible though. I really like the looks of it when it is used, and for a waterfall it would be nice i think... would a sealer make it safe?

I know, It sounds like pretty scarey stuff unless you wear some kind of respirator while using it. I think it would look pretty cool on a waterfall though.You said there is a sealer that you spray over the stone? What is in the sealer,and do you have the name of it, or the MSDS?

i used this on divider in my house, i used the sealer but didn't think it was up to much, so i put a couple of coats of matt yacht varnish over it and it still look's good and that was 3 year's ago. i think it would give a great affect for a waterfall

I've used it, in my beardie tank. It looks pretty good, I liked it best when i mixed two of the colors together. I didn't seal it, and it took forever to cure, but that's probably because I decided to prime the foam with regular black spray paint, heh... That was fun! It dissolved the foam (gave it a neat texture though!). I'm not sure how it would do when constantly wet, though I did have it out in the yard for a few weeks, and it did get rained on with no noticeable effect. You could use it and put an epoxy sealant over it. that should waterproof it.
