I’m wanting to build some hides for my family members red foot, she desperately needs more coverage in her upcoming upgrade so I’m trying to get multiple decent sized ones made(I know wood isn’t the best option in a humid environment, but pvc box hides would work out a similar price for the sizes and amount we need and won’t look very nice in there, plant pots are too awkward for her to turn in)the most cost effective way to do so is to make them out of plywood and seal them using this special reptile resin, I’ll be sealing the wood panels first, then once they’re screwed together I’ll go over the edges with the resin again, then go over the screw heads with aquatic sealant and go along the edges with that too.
I was originally going to get some marine grade plywood as I’ve read somewhere it’s a bit safer chemical wise? But for the amount we need, it’ll be so much cheaper getting a hardwood plywood(not a soft pine or anything, I know pine can be toxic) it’d be the same thickness of 25mm.
Will that be perfectly safe to use provided I seal it well enough?
