>>i read the post below about the reptishield and was wondering how that compares to Spar Urethane....

>>

>>i have a project going myself and from my research so far im am leaning toward using the spar, anyone use this for anything?



When I sealed the wood fronts of my enclosures I used Varathane's Diamond interior water based urethane sealer. I never had any wood damage what so ever from urate contact, water, etc. The cages have been scrapped as the melamine panels the cages were made of lived out their usefulness in the five years of use. But the fronts were salvaged for use in another project.



Actually the melamine panels were salvaged as well. The damaged portions were cut away and trashed and the good panels were re-utilized for LEGO storage shelving.



I salvage and re-use most of my materials. This week I tore out 5 walls in my kitchen and living room. All the studs were over 50 yrs old original to the home. I managed to re use nearly half of them at the original length. The remainder were cut down to usable size, and stored for future use. Of course this is after removing nails, brads, and drywall tacks....



Sorry to get off topic but I think its important to show just how much of our "garbage" is really usable if the effort is put forth. I know my boys will see their grandfathers 40 yr garage rafters re-utilized this summer as a potential bedroom set.
