Hi! I've been searching for a product to coat some fake logs I made based on threads on a pair of amphibian forums. The basic composure is PVC bent with heat and textured with a knife and drill, then Painted with Non-toxic Acrylic paint, which was recommended in the thread. It said to use either Water-based epoxy sealant for terrestrial use or "Aquaculture-safe Sealant" for aquatic use. Since I had plans to make a paludarium at some point, I decided I wanted to get the Aquaculture-safe sealant so I could make use of the fake logs again in the paludarium. I ended up visiting a local vivarium supplier, who stated they used to carry it, but no longer do, and referred me to a local aquarium supply store. They carried an item that matched the name, but it was an opaque caulk sort of product made mostly of silicone. He said he didn't know how/where to get exactly what I need, and recommended I ask on here, so here I am!
Basically what I need is a dippable, sprayable or paint-on coating that is safe for fish and/or frogs that is clear, relatively tough, and not overly expensive. One roadblock that may make things difficult or impossible is the fact that both the inside and outside must be coated because I painted the inside, which is why I'm kinda hoping there's some way I can dip it. Thank you in advance for any help, I hate joining forums just to pester people with a single question, but googling "aquaculture-safe sealant" produced mostly sealing products for use on concrete and/or wood for large projects, and I'm starting to feel like giving up and just getting some ghostwood instead. I'm sorry if there's no product that fills all or even some of these requirements. Thanks for reading!
