    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Is 2 layers of sealant ok for a diy rock structure?

So I’m making one of those diy rock structures with foam and grout for a leopard gecko I am adopting. I just finished painting on a nontoxic sealant but I only had enough for two layers. Is that enough? I don’t want to have to go out and buy more if I don’t have to in the terrible weather I’ve been having. I ask because I don’t remember how many layers I did for my last rock structure… advice appreciated. Thanks
 
I would say 2 should be enough. If it was going in a high moisture setting it may benefit from more, but seeing that leopard geckos don't require crazy high humidity and they don't have destructive claws it should be good.
 
That’s what I was thinking… the rock structure in my uromastyx viv couldn’t have had more than three layers and it’s held up really well with his more destructive claws so I can’t imagine a leo would do much damage even with one less layer. Plus it has three layers of thick grout underneath. Thanks for your response!
