and had read about Blackjack 57 but that is not available in my area so I was looking for an alternative that would serve the same purpose. Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks.
I did have a friend pick up a gallon of Blue Max Liquid Rubber. It says it is non-toxic and "nearly odorless". Oh, and "translucent blue". I'll do a bit more reading though as I just want to be sure it will be safe for the new chicks coming this week! What an adventure!Just wondering how the floor is holding up now...? I did mine today and am hoping it won't take forever to cure!I also wanted to use BlackJack57, as JackE suggested, but it is no longer carried in our area. So I went with this instead.

It went on so easily. I just dumped it out and spread with a rought roller and voila! I waited a day, used a 2nd coat and after removing the cat, (she tried to get in the coop) I slammed the door and left. Oops, I sealed the door shut. LOL!
A friend with muscles came by and ripped it open for me.
I am just beginning my chicken adventure, but I figure if it doesn't work, I'll just coat it with some sealer or something. I am sure it will be fine though.
Good to hear. Mine is drying but still sticky today so hoping tomorrow it won't be so tacky. But... I've read that it takes about a week to 'cure'. We'll see, It has been really humid though
I took the chicks outside today for awhile while I worked on the coop. They sure have a lot of personality! I'm starting to worry that my self-appointed flock leader, Diane, might be a rooster. She is only 4 1/2 weeks old, hope I'm wrong!

Hope your chick moving goes well!
