    Sealant for PVC cages? And locks?

    I bought a few PVC cages for larger snakes and I need to seal them myself. What is the best stuff out there? I don't want my stack to turn into a "waterfall" !
    I also need locks with keys for the sliding glass doors. Is there a specific name for them?
    I'm learning how to do stuff!!!!

    (So an old dog CAN learn new tricks. LOL)

    Re: Sealant for PVC cages? And locks?

    Well the sealant usually comes with them but I use "DAP Kitchen & Bath Clear" Its water proof and strong as nails when I need extra.. As far as the Locks I dont have them installed but they Drill/Cut the glass out to install Locks.. So idk how you would install those yourself without the proper equipment. Id hate to break one if those glass panels.

    Thanks Mr Sully. I bought them premade (mostly) for a very good price. I have to seal ( none provided) and install the flexwatt (came with cages and is all ready to attach). And I need a way to put a lock on sliding glass doors.
    Oh, and how long does DAP take to gas-out and cure? I need to get this right the first time.

    Dap isnt to bad.. 4-6 hours to be safe and the snakes will be fine.. I dont think it would hurt them anyway. I know people that only wait 45min until its dry, not that i would though. Just leave the glass open to air it out.

    Thank you for all your help. Could you guve me a screen shot or the item number of the product. There seems to be quite a few options out there for this product.
