I am building my reptile enclosure and I needed to know what is best to waterproof the inside with? I want a thicker spread on type(NOT FIBERGLASS). tHANKS
 
Epoxy would be my guess. Look around in the DIY forum for plywood fish tank builds and see what they are using to water proof their tanks...
 
In the six hours you waited, you could have found your info in under a half hour or less if you researched it. Your on the internet which has limitless amounts of data. There is a thing known as a search engine, use it.

So if I search your thousand + poast, I wont find a single question you have asked on here? You can take the time to reply and be negative but not to help?
 
What do you plan on keeping in the enclosure? Does it need to be water proof or just sealed to keep humidity in and the wood from rotting?

There are products like repti shield designed for reptiles. I used herculiner and thomsons wood sealer in my monitor cage. But if you plan on filling your enclosure with water these would not be options.
 
im using water sealer (10 year, i think, protection) covered in rustoleum bed liner. my walls are simply a outdoor paint with even more mold and mildew resistent additives.
 
Not water proof, but resistant.ill use thomsons wood sealer and a nice thick outdoors paint. Thanks guys. I think ill get a brown and green, then add sand to it for texture.
 
sounds good. i think its oil based is the one you want. might have issues finding it right now being winter and all.
