Paint?

Post by Wlfwo » Mon Oct 14, 2024 4:38 pm

I picked up a wooden tea tray at the Dollar general. I want to use it to set his water pools on so that they're not down in the sand. Can I paint those, or should I not?

If it were me, I wouldn't put any freshly painted wood in the crabitat. You'd be better off using some sort of plastic tray instead.

Thank you, I'll use it "as is" until I can find a plastic one.

Np. Check out Dollar Tree too. They always seem to have a lot of plastic containers and whatnot.

The next time I get into town I'll do that. My closest Dollar tree is about 15 miles away, Dollar generals are everywhere.

Sounds good. I'm the opposite here. Lots of Dollar Trees but only one Dollar General.

My Dollar trees are all in town. And the closest town is 15 miles away, that has stores. I have two little bitty towns 6 miles in either direction, I work at one of them, the Dollar general is at the edge of town. I work in the middle.

Glad you have easier access to a DG. I haven't been to the one in my area in a while, but I should pop in and see if they have anything good for the crabbies.
