RHP smell!!

[Gio]

RHP should be ran unregulated until completely outgassed. Any sealant should be outgassed at a higher temp than it is expected to ever see. Kill two birds with one stone and run the rhp unregulated inside and let both outgas, with doors open. I don't know the sealant so I don't know how long it should take, but stuff I use takes a couple days with an rhp blasting in there.

Bingo!

I also think unless the smell is "odd" like burning or very, very pungent, it is just the new product heating up and breaking in.

I remember buying our last couple of gas stoves, and turning on the ovens for the first time. We'd get a "smell" because the units were brand, spanking new.


If things don't change after running it wide open for a couple of days, call Rich at Reptile Basics or e-mail and inquire.

Unfortunately nobody here can poke their snout into your cage area and tell you if it's typical.
