So, just my opinion, water based acrylics like the Kennel Seal are not going to last on the bottom of a cage. Acrylics are great (as paint or stain, for instance) for the sides of houses or fences, because while the surface does get wet frequently with rain, it does not sit on the surface.
In my opinion, horizontal surfaces that are prone to extended moisture need oil based coverings, spar urethanes, two part epoxies, and the like. Oil based urethanes can be applied better as several thin coatings, with the surface lightly sanded between coatings to rough up the surface, then wiped down to prevent the sanding dust being included in the next coat, rather than one thick coating.
The oil based products have higher vocs and must be aired out for a significan amount of time before use. And they are more expensive in general. The two part epoxies are very expensive.
