We've just built a Vivexotic and noticed the plastic vents pop out way too easy! I have 'No More Nails', would that glue them in ok, or do I need something else to make sure they are properly fixed in place? Thanks |

Also are you putting the vents into place from the inside or outside??
I put my vents through from the inside, that way if they push all they're doing is forcing them further in. |

make sure you apply a liberal amount......we were using up the last of a tube and didn't put a lot on and subsequently the snake managed to pop the vent (into the viv) and escape!
(but was found on it's way down the stairs!) |

| Thanks, I'll go for both silicone & nails to be on the safe side :-)I was leaving them fitted on the outside, but think I'll change that before making them a permanent fixture :-) |
