Incubator leaking. Draining out of 2 channels. It's a Little Giant Styrofoam Bator so some chems might melt it. Was a slow leak and have had a plastic pan/tray under it for a couple of months. But now it drains fast.
Any ideas..? Tape gets soggy quick and Doesn't work. Any styro-friendly cures out there?
Don't have the cash to shell out for a brand new one right now.
Thanks in advance..
 
Could you try caulk, like the kind ones uses in a bathroom, or marine grade caulk?

I have not idea, just throwing out the first thing that came to my mind.
 
Latex caulking. Makes the list of solutions. I have to get a short list of possibilities first because I may only have one shot at it.
Thank you. I have several tubes.
 
I just attempted to repair the leaking Bator.
Thank you KikisGirls for the caulking suggestion. I used a tube of latex bathtubs caulking like she suggested. Applied it over the entire bottom with a joint knife. Put bamboo skewers in the vent holes.
FINALLY GOT SUNSHINE today! Ya hoo!
Placed it out on the patio in the heat to speed up the cure time. The tube says 72 hours. That is a long time to wait but worth not having the humidity going up and down as well as the mess it was making.
I shall find out soon enough.
Thank you again KikisGirls for the suggestion.:thumbsup
 
I'm glad you found my suggestion helpful. You are very welcome.
Now let's cross our fingers and hope it actually works. ;)
