PVA Glue & Silicon

[gwizzie]

Hi guys & girls,

just wanted to ask if I could use PVA glue in a poly feeder to seal it. I have painted it but it is leaching colour a bit into the feed ? as I have read that it is NONE toxic.

Also what silicon is the best to use in a hive to make the mod to the paynes nuc to change it to a 8 frame nuc ?

regards
Graham

Or just paint over the paint with better paint? Acrylic masonry paint is the one many use.

Hi Gavin,
thanks for the reply it was sandtex masonry paint that I used and it does say "breathable and waterproof"

I like evostick's sticks like Sh*t
It's useful for lots of tasks
Or just cut & shape your offcuts & screw them to the nuc
you'll lose a bit of thermal efficiency but if you're in a hurry
& don't want to wait for silicone to cure it's an option.

I've just butchered two Paynes brood extensions for their nucs
(to allow 8 brood frames over 8 )
Going to be useful for combining nucs with newspaper & also overwintering

Hi EK.Bee,

thanks for the tips will keep them in mind when I go to butcher them.

5 minute PU glue works wonders..
