[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 130615, member: 26980"] [URL]https://tomsbigspiders.com/2016/02/09/tarantulas-faq/[/URL] Here's a picture of the screen being chewed out. I haven't heard anything about the dwarf species doing this, however. To bond an unbonded screen, spray it with urethane clear coat from a can of the type you get at an auto parts store. Spray both sides with multiple thin coats and shake off the excess that blocks the holes in the screen. Let it dry for at least 24 to 48 hours. Then rinse thoroughly with hot water to remove any chemical residue. The liquid paint occupies the void between where the individual wires cross over one another bonding them into one piece. The claws this can't get caught there. It also adds additional stiffness. Urethane itself dries into a very hard corrosion resistant impact resistant coat which is why it is used as the final coat when painted on a car. It'll also be less likely to get dirt embedded in it as well. [/QUOTE]
