>>Price is high for Repti-Shield.

How do you figure? Unless it doesn't coat well a single can does 75 sq feet. A 4x2x2 enclosure has 40sq feet of inside surface. Taking that into account you might be able to squeeze two enclosures out one can, taking into consideration those are usually outside dimensions. Larger enclosures are limited to a cage a can or worse but even at a can per cage. I don't see that as a bad price.

Take into account the cost of laminating the entire inside with Formica or PVCX this is definitely cheaper. Maybe not quite as durable...but that remains to be seen.

Now the product page mentions nothing in regards to water resistance, but anything that seals porous surface from bacteria and mold must shed some water.

I'm very intrigued, with this product.

And I have a few Boa's that might be as well.

Even if used to coat the upper sides and ceiling, this could be a very handy product.

Cheers
