Grout Sealer?
Hello Everyone. I am starting my first Vivarium and have built the waterfall feature and the rock wall. I will be posting pictures on this forum in the next couple of days. I used the Ultra Flex RS premium grade ultraflex rapid setting morter. This was the only one that didn't have the Bioblock technology, which I assumed that would be bad for a VIV. My plans are to use krylon fusion to highlight the rock wall in certain areas and use as detailing. When I have the rock wall to my liking, I was going to seal it with Tile Guard One Step Grout Sealer. It comes in an aerosol can that I can hold upside down and spray which is very convienant in tight spaces. What I wanted to know is this non toxic for dart frogs? I can't find anywhere that it is used or has been used. If this can't be used what can I use to seal the rock wall and waterfall feature? I want the mortor to be stain free and less prone to wear by sealing it. The rock wall is GS and polystyrene hotglued and siliconed in. Then mortared over. This viv took a lot of hours to mortar and sculpt. I am almost finished and didn't want to mess up the last step. Also should I PH balance it with vinegar first then seal it? I will get pics in here soon.
