I have recieved several compliments on WalkinRocks dogtag and many people have asked how it is attached
And tho I did think long and hard on how and why I should do it, 1 thing keeps haunting me.
Im not sure about the Pouriousness of live Tortoise shell... does it breath like our skin? will it rot if not exposed to fresh air and sunshine? Unfortunatly, these are things I DIDN'T think about before putting it on with the epoxy I used.
How could I have done this more safely? The Epoxy (Used in Bridge Construction is waterproof and sets harder than stone) is hot when 1st mixed together because of the chemical reactions to one another but then when it sets, it becomes complete inert. I let it cool down before applying but before it set up completly and no heat was ever tranfered to his shell but now I worry about the shells condition under the epoxy.
How do you ID your tortoise?
