    Adhesive for snake tubs

    I am building my own racks and buying my tubs a couple at a time untill I am finished. I am wanting to use some PVC for cup holders in the tubs. What would be a good adhesive that would be good for the snake .

    I'm not sure if the couplers have a bottom, but you could Velcro them down.

    Re: Adhesive for snake tubs

    Are you looking for a permanent adhesive or a temporary one? If this is a permanent modification you want to do, JB weld should do the trick. Just make sure to let it cure fully (24-48 hours) before dropping a snake in the tub with it.

    As far as the velcro idea goes, I wouldn't suggest that. The velcro would be just like putting a piece of tape in there. If it comes loose it could end up adhering to the snake, and nobody wants to deal with that.

    Re: Adhesive for snake tubs

    Hi,

    I think people have had good experiences using a hot glue gun - and it can be twisted off later.

    What are you planning to use as a substrate?

    Like Derek said, a hot glue gun will work best. Velcro will be a mess to clean.
