Using Fiberglass Resin

[Lcfireman]

Can i use Fiberglass resin to waterproof wood. I am Building a 6 foot tall Viv and i know about using expoxies and silicon but i was just wondering if just the resin can be used.

i'm sure there is or will be one that's safe sometime soon but fiberglass i believe off gases permanently. so, no fiberglass is not recommended.

well i know it doesnt off gas permently it just takes a few monthes for it to off gas just wondering if anyone has used fiberglass resin and has had success with it

You might also want to try grout, and use a sealer ontop

I might be a newb to the Viv world, but I know alot of people have used fiberglass resins in reef tanks to build rock walls. These guys wouldn't risk thousands of dollars worth of fish if it wasn't safe. So it is safe to use after some curing..

The thing is there are 2 types of resin available. PolyUrethane and Epoxy. You want to make sure you have epoxy resin, not the cheap stuff for cars...

This brings up another point though, fish don't have claws and aren't likely to disturb the surface where a lizard might be...

Not sure if I helped or made it worse....
