hello, I need some:help:
my hubby and I (yea I've been mostly project managing lol) have been building a double viv for our two beardies. thought we had it sussed and where busy fixing ledges in over the weekend, lights etc already fitted. Anyway, I decided to turn the basking lamp and uva on to see what temps it would hit and within an hour we saw a huge problem which made my hubby want to do this to me :bash: lol. basically we lined the walls with lino tiles to seal the viv :yeahright: ya... under the heat they all decided they weren't gonna stick anymore and started dropping off! so much for nearly done!
so what do I need help with?
well I thought rip them all down and get some aquarium backing... but what could I use to stick it back on with? I can't have any gaps under it for water to get in (or crickets) it needs to be able to withstand the temps of 110f and misting and be non toxic.
then my mum blasted me into the past and suggested fablon... wow hadn't seen that stuff for about 14 years! it's a good suggestion though... do you think this would be safe and do you think it would stand the heat without bubbling and looking absolute :cussing: lol
oh I'm fixing tiles to the basking areas too (well slate) I need an idea for this too.... should I use silicone? and is there a certain type?
after that you deserve a pic of the mess so far lol... ok not used to this lol the pic came up and I can't get under it lol anyway you get the gist. hope you can help. thanks guys xxxjojoxxx
