Robert,



If you are actually using FRP board and not one of the coated masonite tile boards, there is an actual FRP glue. Brace yourself though - FRP glue is very expensive, probably $30 or $40 a gallon (can't exactly remember how much). The other problem is that I've only seen it in gallon containers because it's intended to be troweled onto a surface. The other major problem is the FRP has a strong odor, being made from fiberglass, and the glue has an even stronger odor. In my opinion a safer and cheaper alternative that would net you the same result would be to use what is called "Thrifty white tileboard". It is sold at most Home Depot stores in the same section as the interior paneling (Millwork dept.), and usually goes for about $8 a 4' x 8' sheet. In contrast FRP is about $25 to $30 a sheet in the same size. I've used the tileboard before and simply screwed it to the walls and floor of my cage and then sealed the corners with aquarium silicone. I've yet to have any leaks and the clean-up is just as good as you'd get with FRP for cheaper and no worries about the glue or board itself outgassing toxic fumes.
