Safe glue to modify enclosures

[Hazel]

What glues are safe to use to modify enclosures? Also if using an exo terra faunarium/ kritter keeper is there a particular type of contact paper or tape that is recommended for closing some of the vents. If there is already a thread for this please post a link. I am brand new to this hobby, I am getting everything set up before I dive in.

I use a hot glue gun. No issues what so ever and very minimal smell. And it cures almost instantly

I use black electrical tape for covering vents. Silicone 1 is another option, but it smells strong until it's done curing.

I would avoid tape. Tarantulas can get their feet stuck to it. It happened to one of mine 17 years ago. Took hours to get her unstuck.

Silicone I is safe after it cures, it's my go to for in terrarium work (always well BEFORE the inhabitants are in the tank)

If you use silicone, make sure it's food grade

Would aquarium silicon be good to use ?
