I'm working on making my first custom. I've done a fair amount of research but still have some material concerns before I begin. For wood, depending on price, I was going to use melamine or smooth plywood. I was gonna use wire mesh for part of the enclosure top and plexi glass or some sort of clear plastic for outward opening doors.
My concerns come from sealants for a few things:
-I've heard mixed reviews for polyurethane. Just from the fumes alone I'm worried, but I don't know if paint will hold up on the inside either
-I wanted to do a carved foam hill, but I know that also needs to be sealed. I haven't seen much for beardie safe foam sealants so I'm lost there
-Finally, caulking. I want to caulk around the perimeter to help keep in heat, but i have the same concerns there as I do with polyurethane
Do you guys have any trusted brands you could recommend? Much appreciated
