Krylon make it stone

As for the question of paint on hides...it comes down to a matter of weighing the risks versus the benefits. For some, the minimal aesthetic benefit does not outweigh the slight risk of toxic fumes. For others, that risk of toxic fumes (after the product has been carefully studied and used correctly) seems too small to worry about.

We all have different tolerances in these matters and it's not worth sniping at each other just because someone is a little different. :evileye:

Good for you. :)

I will add one more thing. We DO have our limits, and if the staff feels a member has become TOXIC themselves...spreading nothing but dissent while offering no benefit to the site or its community, we may take action. It's rare, but it has happened in the past.

All my posts the past few days have been positive,if I may say,I'm turning over a new leaf,I'm a new man,starting two days ago... U can go and look for yourself..anyway,back on topic since my thread was hi jacked and thrown way off topic,lol,I will pass on spraying my hides. Little fumes or no fumes,I won't chance my pets health..TY for the advice. Have a happy holiday :D

Polyurethane varnish/lacquers are non-toxic, water-resistant and pretty durable if you get a good initial bond. I use this on wood items in enclosures(that will not be immersed in water, for these use cyanoacrylate) to make cleaning much easier and inhibit the wood from even possibly becoming damp and harbouring mold.

As I stated before if you are not confident that your paint of choice is as non-toxic as you would like, top-coating with this is one way to prevent leeching from the paint to your animals.
Thorough drying is required for each coat. It may be overkill but, I let it dry a week before it goes in a room with any animals.

I am aware that you did not care for my advice but, I think there will probably be others with the same question.

Contact the company directly. They respond to technical questions about their products and are pretty quick about it.

Krylon is popular with aquariums because it bonds to plastic and glass well, and it's safe to put into the tank once it dries. Except you're using the make-it-stone stuff, so that could be completely different

That's all I know about it personally, but I wouldn't go off a random internet-stranger's best guess.
