    Silicone smell
    So 4 days ago, I sealed the edges of a new wooden viv I bought. Is there any ways to get rid of the smell quicker? Would like to get my little guy in there ASAP!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...347bce46be.jpg

    Sorry, but no. The silicone needs to naturally offgas completely. Depending on the thickness it can take a few days to a few weeks.

    If it's decent weather set it outside, but not in direct sunlight.

    You could try putting a fan on it. Nothing crazy, just a low speed to keep the air moving.

    Warm air along with a fan (or moving air, outside) will help it dry faster.
