I'd like to make my own feeding ledges for reptiles. The ones I have purchased are made from "indestructible resin epoxy" or "high impact resin" (manufacturers descriptions). These don't need to be super strong and they need to be light. The animals that will be going on them weigh less than 90grams. They attach to the sides of the tanks by magnets that are epoxied in to the back. Which resin would be best for this? I've been looking at the 610 foam, RC3 and the Ultra-lite 400. I attached a pic of what one of them looks like.

RC 3 ,when properly cured, is pretty dense. I poured some into a damaged wooden door frame around the dead bolt area to make it more secure and now that area of the door frame is as good or even better than it was brand new.

Buttonsht,
These resins that you mentioned could make those pieces but they are NOT FDA or Medical grade approved. I don't know that it would be best to use any of those resins for this application Buttonsht.
Warmest Regards,
Carol

After sending some emails to a few other people who produce these they let me know that they've used 610 and Ultra-lite with success and no issues. The geckos don't actually eat off the ledge, just out of the cup. I understand the concerns of FDA approval though.
