    Oh lol. Yeah it should work fine. Just use it sparingly as a little goes a long way.

    Cool. Using the eggcrate for more surface area for the foam to adhere to.

    According to the instructions, it takes one week to cure, so I would wait at least that long. Even then, I wouldn't put my snake back in until there was no smell at all. Sorry, I've never used it so don't know how long that will take.

    Thanks. I got a 7x10 pond liner that I'm going to cut to size and affix up to the glass edge instead. This way I know it'll be completely contained without having to get a bunch of glue on the panels.

    Varies depending on your climate conditions. It's safe when it's completely dry and totally free from any type of odor. Could be three days, could be two weeks...

    I definitely don't have that time, it's for my BTS. I think the fitted pond liner will be great and much more durable. Thanks!
