It says seal the bottom to avoid warping etc..does that mean paint the entire bottom or just the edges?

Thanks

From what I read it sounds like you can use any waterproof sealant. As long as you let the fumes disperse before adding the snake.
Its not like the snake is likely to chew the wood like a dog, so I can't see why not :)

i wonder if you can use glazing silicone to seal the vivs? i have always used the
Geocel Aquarium Sealant

would save myself a couple of quid if you could use the glazing silicone we always have plenty kicking around at work

haha Blackskull, you wou;dn't be trying to gas me or anythin' now would you?

LOL reminds me of a prank played on me when I was 6..a neighbour's kid said' "Put your fingers up inside there, there's a £5 note"
It was the ball socket of a towbar..and yeah I fell for it. and yeah I got covered in grease!

Grr I owe ya for that lol

once you have sealed it turn the heating for the viv on and stick your head in lol
