Lino/Vinyl in vivarium
Posted: Mon May 28, 2018 11:16 pm
My Blue Tongue's vivarium is made of plastic coated chipboard, and I've been looking for a way to seal it to protect it from moisture in the long run. I've bought some aquarium silicone sealant, a giant roll of lino/vinyl and I'm currently looking for a way to adhere the lino to the chipboard in a way that will be non-toxic for my skink. I don't want any fumes given off by glue re-heating when I turn the temps up in there, so I'm wondering if the silicone will be enough to hold the lino in place? Planning on having it on the floor and walls. His substrate will go on top of it.
I know there are some concerns about the lino itself giving off fumes as it ages: This roll has come out of an apartment building, so I'd assume it'd have no fumes left in it to give out, and I've heated a section of it up to 45 degrees C just to see if it gave out any smells or melted. It did not.
What do you guys think? Any adhesives to recommend, or will they be unnecessary?
Thanks!
