    Default Silicone


    Is this kind of silicone safe to apply to both the FBT and Koi Fish.

    Looks like it, just make sure it is pure silicon without any anti-mildew additives . Bad ones state they are for kitchen and bath .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Oh okay . This one says nothing about kitchen and bath. Just Attics and basement . So I should put silicone on my carved foam with acrylic paint and it will be safe for the FBT right?

    Make sure you have a well ventilated place; silicone curing puts out some toxic smells .

    Carlos is right, it smells quite potent for about 3 days. Be sure to keep your animals away from the area while it dries/cures.
