First cage

dudesteve151 · 10-18-11, 04:37 PM

Just finished my first cage and was wondering what type of vainer I should use for the inside or if I should any at all. My cousin said get something with low VOC% but i have no idea what that means lol, any suggestions?

Most people go with a water based varnish. As long as you let it air out for a week or so it will be safe. I don't know about where you live but here 98% of them are low VOC.

I used Varathane Diamond Wood Finish, Water Based, Interior, Semi-Gloss on my enclosures. I picked it at Totem, though it looks like Home Depot carries it as I'm sure other hardware centers will or at least something similar.

Is it better to be water based finnish or dose it matter?

I would always use a water base if given the option to do so. They make them so well now that they are almost better than other kinds.
