Should i seal the T3?

[alexrls]

i was cleaning up behind the viv and noticed that there were little water marks on the seams on the back of my T3
should i try sealing it up?

are there nonpermanent but good sealants?

and where should i apply it on the inside in the seams themselves or on the outside along the cracks?

100% silicone caulk on the inside. the caulk will need to completely cure and setup before your herp can be put back in. i would give it 12 hrs. or so to be safe.

great. i should be able to pick that up at any hardware store right?

[kavmon]

yes, even walmart. i would probably go with 100% silicone in the clear finish. white would stain with age.

i guess i should probably disasemble the viv and put it into the seams as i reassemble the viv.

[kavmon]

i would just caulk the inside joints on the bottom and maybe up the sides. i don't think you really need to take it apart, your choice though.

Make sure you get silicone WITHOUT mildew and Stain Resistant products in them. They constantly leach toxins that kill life.
