I am trying to seal the background in a reptile vivarium without much luck in finding a suitable non-toxic sealer. I'm looking for something non-toxic, will seal grout as well as wood and will last in a humid environment (misting once daily keeping humidity above 70%). Do you have anything that will meet those requirements? SAMPLE - Bioshield, Aqua Resin Stain Finish, Pine Wood Stains & Sealers

Tall order. We've had good luck with reptile cages in the past with Bioshield Aqua Resin Stain Finish. Reptiles are a fussy bunch but they seem to tolerate this and it holds up in warm, damp cages without peeling. Make sure it is applied to a clean, dry surface and not over a previously sealed or painted surface. Otherwise, it might not bond properly.
