Climbing wall detaching

Post by happyhermies33 » Wed Mar 19, 2025 3:26 pm

part of my climbing wall where my hermies hangout the most is detaching from the tank wall. when i first made it i used aquarium silicone and plastic boxwood panels and let it dry flat with weights and books on top for 2 days. i dont have anywhere to move them to re silicone the panel, is there an easier fix? i read online that double sided velcro could work and maybe hot glue, but i don’t think hot glue would be strong enough. thank you!

*edit*

ok i used double sided velcro adhesive because it kept falling and it was stressing me a little i didn’t want any of them to have direct contact with the heat mat because it feels pretty hot to my skin and they kept going back there. it seems like it worked! the tank has a little smell from the adhesive but i left the tank door slightly crack for a small amount of time to air it out and it seems better so i sprayed the tank well and closed it up.
