Hey guys,
So today I heard a weird dripping noise coming from my vivs. I discovered my Boa had spilt her water bowl again, so after some hasty cleaning out of the viv to stop the leak I discovered the bottom edges of her viv had started to rot, it seems I totally forgot to seal them when I put the viv together like I have with my other viv (which is 3 years older and still looks like new in comparison).
Anyway, the rot seems to have gotten 5-6mm up the edge all the way around. I have taken this opportunity to replace the viv, however rather than buy new I have decided to just salvage what I can, such as the glass and glass runner things and buy a sheet of something to replace all the wood on the current viv.
Here comes my question, what material should I use? I have a shortlist so far of:
- Melamine MDF
- Melamine Chipboard
- Plywood
- Vaneered MDF
I would really like to use the Vaneered MDF or Plywood, as it looks much nicer than just White Melamine MDF/Chipboard, however if I were to use either of these I dont know how best to finish the surface to give it a lasting waterproof layer, or something that will stop stuff seeping into it anyway. I want to keep the costs down below ~£40 for a 2440x1220 sheet.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
