varnish
 

i have just had a new 4ft tortoise table built i really want to treat it my tortoise has the habit of spilling its water or sitting in it and splashing it everywhere i am wanting to make it water proof i am unsure what varnish to use please could anyone give me advice thankyou

The best varnish to use is marine varnish as it's waterproof. :)

I use yacht varnish, I suppose its the same stuff as marine varnish, I give the base 3 coats with a light sanding inbetween, it just makes it more hardwearing. And the sides 2 coats then let it cure for a few days.

I use vinyl on the floor of it, cut to exact size, no other treatment. the water dish sits on a slate floor tile. but yes, yacht varnish and marine varnish will be the same thing. Writernick is the expert on varnish, he works in the varnish plant

thanks every one for the advice isabella soon be in her new home:razz:
