Custom Hides

[Trice]

Hey... I'm considering using some of the spare cricket tubs i've got laying around and turning them into hides.. What i plan on doing for covering them is using glue and sand..

Well the question is.. is there any glue i need to be wary of? even though it will be dry when in use.. But yeah..

[MPF]

no expert on glue lol but id just make sure it is non toxic and that there wont be any accesible incase they try and eat or something else bizarre lol

Silicone glue is widely used and is waterproof and non-toxic when dry Not PVA just because if you get it wet it might be ruined, even the water-resistant stuff...

Might want to do a few thin layers so they dry properly or the smell could hang around.

I did my whole tank out, i started with polystyrene and cut them to the shape i wanted, covered the whole lot in tile grout, after i was solid i covered it in pva glue and covered it with sand.

pva and sand works every time for me
every time being twice lol
but iv had no probs with them
a few thin layers is better then 1 or 2 thick ones

I used PVA and sand mixed together with no problems.
