Fumes!!!

[pymn nice but dim]

tell me

ive just finished the back and side wall including dish in lays thermo in lays large ledge for sitting and a few bits and bobs on the back wall it should all dry and be ready for grouting tommorrow but i was curious im going to have some parts of the fake rock near, and in one case directly under the heat lamp.

is there a chance of fumes from

polystyrene>grout>paint>pva

is this going to harm my beardies or will it even fume atall once sealed my old man seems convinced it will.
but seeing all the fake rock set ups on here it really cant be that bad?

hi, leave it for a week or two if you not sure. i just left mine to dry (the pva ) , and then the next day i put my leos in . the first one i did was 3month ago, and my leos are still alive. lolyou dont seem to get fumes from dry grout, and dry water based paint, or dry pva.

i did one and painted it all in yatch varnish about 4 month ago and i can still smell the fumes from that one..........(hence it is not in a viv).

seems fair i think i will onlu coat in pva other than a varnish so best bet is to just let it air then any one ever had problems

i sealed my fake rock with polyuerathene matt varnish, and the fumes were gone in a day, dried rock hard and looks superb
