Question About Velcro

sorry I havent been around for a while, since I have been on I got another Corn, I will post a Pic soon, I am housing for the time being in a 15 gallon tank but I need a way to secure the lid. so I have a question about how you attach the Velcro to your tank lids.. just wondering if there is a safe material to use to attach..

( I suspect that you will probally tell me and I will feel like I should have figured it out LOL)


thanks for you help
:)
 
I have 2, 10gal aquariums that are mfg by Top Fin that are narrower than the standard, rendering the metal clips useless for holding the screen tops. I've used the self adhesive Velcro on these 2 viv's since last October with zero escapes. :cheers:
 
I use the self adhesive for my plastic label - holders. But I have used clear silicone seal /caulk (the kind used to seal glass aquariums) to stick it to the glass and lid. I wasn't sure I wanted to trust the self adhesive to keep a snake in the cage.
 
Ok Thanks, I will pick up some of the silicone seal. I just wanted to make sure that what ever material I used would be safe in case my snake did come into contact with it. I'm not sure if I trust the self adhesive myself either.

Thank you muchly
 
The silicone is rather stinky when first used, but it will not be on the inside of the cage anyway. If possible, let it dry a couple of days in a well ventilated area. But you will be using such a small amount that I can't imagine it would be a real problem outside a typical cage.
 
mm stinky sounds like fun. lol
The weather has been nice so hopefully I can do it outside!

Thank you
