Needless to say, the wood has accumulated a distinct odour to it, so this weekend I'm borrowing a pressure washer, cleaning it, and I'd like to seal the wood with something. Is there anything besides exterior latex paint that would do the job? _________________ Visit www.reptileontario.com - Scott 0.1.0 Argentine Black & White Tegu (Koopa) 1.0.0 Bearded Dragon (Cowboy) 1.0.0 Pixie Frog (Chubudha) 0.1.0 Cuban Knight Anole 0.1.0 Chilean Rose Tarantula (Szandora) 1.1.0 Cats (Jimi & Rivers) And a Back to top gunznrosez13 Honored Member Joined: Jul 08, 2006 Posts: 209 Location: durham, nc Posted: Wed Oct 04, 2006 6:56 pm    Post subject: thats a good question, but whats the matter with latex paints.

If so, what brand would be best? _________________ Visit www.reptileontario.com - Scott 0.1.0 Argentine Black & White Tegu (Koopa) 1.0.0 Bearded Dragon (Cowboy) 1.0.0 Pixie Frog (Chubudha) 0.1.0 Cuban Knight Anole 0.1.0 Chilean Rose Tarantula (Szandora) 1.1.0 Cats (Jimi & Rivers) And a Back to top eradi Respected Member Joined: Jul 19, 2005 Posts: 307 Location: Milwaukee Posted: Thu Oct 05, 2006 7:43 am    Post subject: Polycrylic varnish works great. It's non-toxic and cleans up with water. You will need to apply a few coats but it dries quick. _________________ 1.1.0 B/W Argentine Tegu 0.0.1 Red Tegu Back to top RainbowParty Honored Member Joined: Oct 20, 2005 Posts: 270 Location: Guelph, Ontario, Canada Posted: Thu Oct 05, 2006 10:21 am    Post subject: What brand would you recommend? _________________ Visit www.reptileontario.com - Scott 0.1.0 Argentine Black & White Tegu (Koopa) 1.0.0 Bearded Dragon (Cowboy) 1.0.0 Pixie Frog (Chubudha) 0.1.0 Cuban Knight Anole 0.1.0 Chilean Rose Tarantula (Szandora) 1.1.0 Cats (Jimi & Rivers) And a Back to top eradi Respected Member Joined: Jul 19, 2005 Posts: 307 Location: Milwaukee Posted: Fri Oct 06, 2006 7:42 am    Post subject: Sorry, it's made by Minwax. I used a satin finish so that it wasn't too glaring or shiny. _________________ 1.1.0 B/W Argentine Tegu 0.0.1 Red Tegu Back to top RainbowParty Honored Member Joined: Oct 20, 2005 Posts: 270 Location: Guelph, Ontario, Canada Posted: Fri Oct 06, 2006 10:39 pm    Post subject: Thanks for the help! _________________ Visit www.reptileontario.com - Scott 0.1.0 Argentine Black & White Tegu (Koopa) 1.0.0 Bearded Dragon (Cowboy) 1.0.0 Pixie Frog (Chubudha) 0.1.0 Cuban Knight Anole 0.1.0 Chilean Rose Tarantula (Szandora) 1.1.0 Cats (Jimi & Rivers) And a Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         theTegu.com Forum Index -> Tegu Housing All times are GMT - 5 Hours Page 1 of 1 Translate to English using Google Language Tools:   Jump to: Select a forum General Site Forums----------------Site NewsWelcomeFun & GamesSuggestion BoxBusiness Ratings & ReviewsMembers LoungeHelpful Information Tegu Forums----------------Normal DiscussionGeneral CareHealth IssuesTegu HousingClassifiedsBreeding & GeneticsShow & Tell (Picture Forum)Lights!
