    is rust-oleum okay to use?
    im replacing the bottom of a tank with a board, and was wondering if rust-oleum is okay to use for a sealant, i want krylon, but nowhere around me carries it, just wondering if it gives off fumes after it dries, planning on using the "crystal clear enamel"

    I have no idea sadly.

    I just use what we call yacht varnish.

    ◦RustOleum: "Let me first assure you that our products are lead free and are completely non-toxic when fully dry. We do have a few zinc-rich products, but these are boldly stated on the can that they are a zinc compound. I’m certain that our products would be safe for use with birds, as people frequently will paint birdcages with our enamels.

    Just two concerns with the application:
    ■First, in order to ensure that the paint has fully cured, I would wait at least a 7-10 days, in good drying conditions, before exposing the animal(s) to the paint. Washing down the surface after a week is also a good idea, just to ensure that all the solvents are off the surface.
    ■Second, I would recommend that you do not use the metallic products. While they will be non-toxic as well, many of them have a leafing pigment in them, which can result in a metallic ruboff, even after the paint is dry. Thank you again for taking the time to contact us. We appreciate your confidence in Rust-Oleum products. If you need further assistance, please feel free to contact our Product Support Department at 1-800-782-3369 or through our web site, www.rustoleum.com. "
