What to use to seal a plywood cage?

[whitewolf]

Hi,

Are you sure the flex would be able to heat well enough through plywood?

I would be tempted to plan on putting it inside and silicon sealing a piece of vinyl flooring or something over the top of it to keep it away from liquid doins.

As to the sealing I don't know enough about the melamine paint to comment but, as long as you let it cure well, I think polyurathane would be ok.

I'm not sure if the flexwatt will heat well through the plywood. I was going to test that later since I won't have the snake for a bit. The vinyl is a good idea, but I wonder drilling holes into the bottom of the cage and maybe use plexiglass sealed with silicone instead of vinyl would work just as well? This way here, it gets air flow and it will be closer to the snake. I wish I knew whether or not melamine paint would be ok or if anyone's used it. It seems to be a cleaner and less moist alternative to polyurithane. thanks for your reply
