Redecorating Drift Wood?

[Heatheranne]

Sludge Munkey,

So you used to live here. Interesting. I've lived here, Washington state, and 29 Palms, California in the past. My ex was in the military. And now home again to Erie for the last 13 +/- years.

Where do you reside now?


Griffin,
Sorry I couldn't help. Good thing our friend read this before I sent any! I did not know the wood here would be contaminated. I'd have been devastated if I hurt your babies! Good luck in your search!

I bounce around every five years or so. Like Johnny Cash said, "I've been everywhere, man."

No sweat on the driftwood. It really is a big risk no matter the source (exception is the manufactured stuff sold at pet stores- it's not really drift wood, but sandblasted to look like it is!).

Driftwood spends a lot of time in the water, much of it due to being buried/embedded in the mud. The Great Lakes are in particular is risky due to the heavy industry that has been there for the last 100 years or so.
