Is this safe to use on hamster stuff: Plasti-kote Super Gloss Spray Clear 400ml | eBay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Plasti-kote-Super-Gloss-Spray-Clear-400ml-/361018213937?pt=UK_DIY_Material_Paint_Varnish_MJ&hash=item540e5cc631)

I always used the normal plastikote that you paint with a brush but i found this the other day when i was looking for glowing green spray paint (not hamster related).

Yeah i know people on here use that with no problems :) i think the smell is stronger with the spray though compared to the brush on stuff.

Does it affect the hamster?

No you just need to leave it to dry out fully, stick it outside on a dry day and the smell should soon go :)

I've wondered about the safety of these large Plastikote spray tins too. I always buy the small spray tins, the quick dry enamel

Plastikote Spray 100ml, Clear at wilko.com (http://www.wilko.com/plastikote-spray-100ml-clear/invt/0083609?VBMST=Plastikote&VBMST=Plastikote&VBMTC=8343e5e7f3fad5fc4381fbf3799df8d0)

because I know those ones are safe but those large spray tins are different aren't they, I even read the info on the back of one last time I was buying Plastikote but they don't give any safety info so I ended up buying the small tins again just in case.

Its definately the larger spray cans that some people on here use. Maybe a quick email to the manufacturers would clear it up if you're still unsure?

It could be the same thing just put into a smaller tin.

Yes it may very well be, but I don't know that for sure :)
As the tin packaging is totally different, and it's called something different and there is no safety info printed on the tins I have erred on the side of caution :)
I've used a lot of the small tins I linked, in all the different colours lol and I know and trust those ones :)

That's why I commented on your thread, because I have wondered about these large tins too :)

As they say: Its better to be safe than sorry :)

I don't have Wilkos anywhere near me. There are the large tins for sale at my local Homebase store but it's just the large tins and their £13 i think,
