I'm not trying to sound ignorant, despite I already read the ol article that Derek Benson posted about Fiberglass resin, but I'm still not sure what type I should get. Supposedly, I think I'd go with the pool paint that Jhupp suggested. I checked out the site I think Khoff posted, and that stuff is expensive! As I plan to make only one or two small vivariums with glass doors first, I don't know if I want a lot of paint that can't be reused for such a high price!
I have seen some stuff at Home Depot called "Liquid nails" that is two parts epoxy and is for a porcelin like finish to bath tubs and tiles, for a little over $20. However, it says its for porcelain and ceramic surfaces. Do you think it would still be safe for plywood? I know it sounds dumb what I said, but it *sounds* identical to the stuff that you would use pretty much for a pool, as its for a bathtub. What other types of cheaper coatings are there? (if fiberglass resin isn't cheap) By the way about fiberglass, somebody did say it can be toxic. If so, am I supposed to leave the tank alone for a few weeks because of fumes or paint over it? I'm still not sure after reading the last post on Fiberglass resin.
