I have a nice cabinet that was part of a wall unit that I want to make into a snake cage. I would like some advice on what I could use to seal the wood so it doesnt absorb droppings and such?

Thanks in advance!

If you want to keep the look of natural wood I would use at least 3 coats of polyurethane. Then seal all the joints and corners with silicone caulk available at your local home center, get the kitchen and bath as it does not have the mildew inhibitors that the tub and tile one has.

If you want to paint it I would use latex paint most likely a semi gloss as it is easier to wipe clean. With this I would seal the joints first with a paintable latex caulk.

Hope this helps.

For wood enclosures, I like to seal the inside of the enclosure with Thompsons water sealer or comp. They are sold with tints(stain) or without. Very easy to work with.

Then I like to get a piece of material cut to size for the bottom of the unit. I get them at Tap Plastics, styrene or whatever you like. Styrene is super inexpensive, but white in color. If the bottom is not seen, because of substrate, etc. covering it then it will not matter. I use 100% silicone to seal it all around the seams where it meets the wood walls, as well as some under it to act as an adhesive.

The other advantage of the styrene is that it is somewhat flexible, and since it is cut to size this flexibility allows you to insert it easily enough. Hope this helps.

Enlightening post! It is about the stock promoting and it is exceptionally helpful thing that you shared here. I was searching for the very same thing yesterday and website share unique info. Since I require this, I looked through all the stock advertising going to gather the detail of Bit coin code.
