Thank you finally someone who's not an idiot you actually tell what the materials are at the very beginning..

@ryanlynch154 Год назад

looks pretty good, before sealing it, you could also apply heat (in a well ventilated/outside location) either a torch or heat gun/hair dryer) if done lightly it will give a more natural texture and also harden the foam making it les prone to breaks in the future..

I did something similar for my Russian tortoise. I usually will not use dry lock but will cut the foam insulation to the shape that I want and then smear it with caulk and then cover the caulk with peat moss. makes it look like soil

@JohnSingletary 2 года назад

Really nice build just tried my first dry lock enclosure last week and can definitely say yours is way better nice job😁

@lewisclement41 2 года назад

Looks great👍 I just did my Ackies new home but not as good as yours. Great video

@corynnelizabeth9663 2 года назад

Thank you so much for the video! I’ll definitely be using this for my Tegu’s new enclosure!! Gonna be an 8ftX10ft so this should be cheaper than I thought it would be.

@Froggy_Sara 2 года назад

I’ll 100% use this for my frogs.

@lisavanderbloomen4935 Год назад

How many coats of the dry lock do you have on there. Looks great

I'm probably about to need about 30 cans of great stuff.

@abrahamramos926 4 месяца назад

Hey man I have a question, Does the UV & Heat Burn the Foam? Please let me know thanks ! Appreciate the help

@pklfeedtheflame 2 года назад

Drylok in Canada is like $60-70 for that size can💀

@tinksmith4964 Год назад

We don't even have it in the UK!

@NinjaSquid4EVR Год назад

1 year of inflation later and it is now $100 a can

@ForkRat 4 месяца назад

@NinjaSquid4EVR it's € 189,- where i live. That's 206 american dollars. This shit ain't funny anymore

@celter.45acp98 Год назад

I'm building a large enclosure for a mangrove monitor & I need something he won't shred w his claws like he did w his current background I mad of foam & covered w silicone & coco fiber will this method shown here prevent that ? I was going to go w concrete & mold ot to look like rock but I feel like it'll be too heavy & or brittle

@Supra_Na96 Год назад

JUST discovered this by accident bc I misplaced my saw- but if you have a jig saw blade, that works beautifully LOL

@lygexotics6380 2 года назад

Let’s get bimpson number one

@JohnDoe-xq8sk Год назад

That drylok is $11 by me for a gallon the same exact can.

How much weight can those panels hold?

Does dry lock have vocs?

@maruska101 Год назад

I'm trying to figure out how to use a very tall display case for a bearded dragon I know they like horizontal surfaces but I thought if I did it correctly with enough ledges it would work and be pretty. Any ideas

@Katielomax7 10 месяцев назад

10 months late but vertical spaces aren’t suitable for bearded dragons, even with ledges. They’re need floor space, it would be cruel to keep them in a vertical enclosure

@akadam90 2 года назад

im from the uk, what do you look for in expanding foam when it comes to doing this?

@katzen9268 Год назад

I think preferably silicone

@RZakJacob 2 года назад

Hey fyi if you're stuck with a bread knife or anything else non ideal, leave it one the stove for 30 seconds before each cut!

@matts1072 2 года назад

How does the drylock hold up to claws over the foam? Does it make a hard shell or does it stay flexible?

@Tarasaurus13 2 года назад

I'm also curious about this. Did you find out? Is there any way to protect the foam from falling apart by their claws? I'd be using this for a bearded dragon

@matts1072 2 года назад

@@Tarasaurus13 I've since started making entire cages out of foam, paper and wood glue. So far it's holding up to a spiny tail iguana and a mangrove monitor. "Poor man's fiberglass" is what gave me the idea. Making all my cages out of foam board now.

@Tarasaurus13 2 года назад

@@matts1072 nice! That's super cool. How do you seal the foam after finishing the paint and everything once it's done? So that the claws don't tear it up? And how easy is it to clean if the animal poos on it?

@dtx9603 9 месяцев назад

It’s been 2 years. Can you tell me how this method has held up over time?? I started one using styrofoam and grout…let’s just say I’m not a big fan lol

@anj5929 Год назад

i have a 20 gallon do you think 3 boards would be enough??

@odaxelagnia666 6 дней назад

what kind of material is the board?

@charlesyu9745 Год назад

Can someone list all the things needed?

@donnywhitedonny6221 Год назад

I found the drylock for 15 bucks at home depot I think they are not selling it anymore

@AnonymousAmyMakes 6 месяцев назад

Lowes carries it. $16 for a small can. $35 for the gallon can.

@dragonsofthunder 2 года назад

Maybe this isn't even a nice build 🤣🤣🤣 It's nice! You don't great. I think on my next 4×2×2s for Fang and Aang I'm going to do the background with all wood pieces sealed to the wall!!! I'll screw logs and limbs to the back wall and together in the enclosure to make my design. I did the foam before, and I just hate messing stuff
