One quart of Repti-Shield will cover 75 square feet of wood. Repti-Shield is a polyurea based polymer coating. The coating cures via a moisture cure process. This process extracts moisture from the air to catalyze (in this case harden) the chemical reaction. Once cured, the coating is impervious to water and most organic solvents. It takes approximately 36 hours for complete curing. This product will completely seal the surface of wood to prevent moisture from penetrating the wood. I would recommend that you use two coats to ensure that no pinholes are present that would allow water to get into the plywood. The second coat should be applied 30 - 60 minutes after the first coat.



I use Repti-Shield and flexwatt together in my display enclosures and for my racks. The only catch is that you cannot use tape to adhere the Repti-Shield to the wood. I use screws and overlap the flexwatt with a small piece of very thin wood or panel.



This product is also great for finishing off cracks and ends of melamine wood both pre and post install.



I believe you will find that this product will work extremely well to seal any wood from moisture and heat.



If you have any other questions please let me know.
