Hubby built a great wood incubator. He lined it with insulation. We didn't put any kind of clear coating on it b/c we were running a little short on time. At the moment, we're only using it as a hatcher. But I've noticed that in just the few days of lockdown, the lid keeps growing mold on it. I bleached it really well in between the two hatches, but it grew back again. I'd really like to use it as an incubator because it holds temps and humidity really really well. What can I use as a clear coat that won't reek of fumes during the incubation? Would a water based polyurethane work?
 
sunlight i.e. UV kills alot of stuff after I clean with bleach I just leave it lay in the sun a coupla days seems to help much . Because I build a couple small wooden boats a year I have boat building epoxy laying around it seals plywood really well ( keeps the water out of boats) it is cured by heat I thinned mine with acetone then painted the inside then let the bator run for a few days then aired it out in the sun for a week or so it does,nt have the wet wood mold smell any more like it did at the end of my first hatch
