Thread: Polycrylic Sealer for DIY Background?

    Default Polycrylic Sealer for DIY Background?

    Does anyone here know if polycrylic is any good? I'm building a 3D rock background for my Western Hognose (if it safe for frogs, it is probably safe for snakes).

    Help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

    We use great stuff gaps and cracks spray insulation foam. Allow to dry thoroughly (takes a few days), carve, and then coat with drylok or Titebond III glue mixed with non-toxic acrylic paint.

    You can "foam" net or hydroponic planter pots right into the foam. Carve out cups so they can drain. You have to coat all the insides with the drylok or titebond III to make them safe and waterproof. You can then add plants to your wall. You can also carve pink panther foam and coat in the drylok or Titebond mixture, as well.
