Hey Chris,

I use and recomend the solvent based types,the ones for garage floors. I have been using these for years for sealing enclosures, dog runs, vet kennels etc, they used to be almost $200 a gallon, but the prices have come way down.

The ones available at the big box are actually quite good and will off gas completely in 7 days.

I recomend using latex caulking before you do your primer, this gives a much better seal and just looks/works better.

Personally I hate the sillicone, nothing but problems in my book, they always peel and won't accept paint. Latex caulk is the way to go unless you absolutely need it to be clear ( attatching glass, etc)

I just finished up a nice ackie enclosure using this method and am on my way to photograph it today, I'll try and post pics later if poss.

On a unrealated note- finally hatched out some moellendorfi, check out the post on the asain ratsnake sub forum.

Take care,

Ben
