Sheeting OK to Line Indoor Wood Enclosure?

[Oxalis]

We thought it'd be easier to get a liner for the inside our wooden indoor Russian enclosure to keep the substrate off the wood, instead of sealing the inside. Obviously, there's plenty of this stuff to use, my question is: Is it safe? I am sending an e-mail to the company to request an MSDS for the product, but I'm also curious as to whether anyone here has used it before or can suggest an alternative. We just found it at Lowe's yesterday so I'm sure we could return it if need be. Here's all the info:

I use plastic sheeting all the time to line my tort tables. I has a bit of an odor, but I've never had tortoises react adversely to it. I use it so much that I buy it by the 50' roll.

Thanks!!! We already have to return to Lowe's for more wood to reinforce the legs of the tortoise table. Nothing is too good for my little dude!!

There are some "potential health effects" on the MSDS. Does it still sound OK?

"It is unsuitable for use in applications such as direct or indirect food contact, toys, medical device or pharmaceutical applications or for potable water application."

Pro and Con


Pro= is you can roll it up during final clean and throw everything away and start fresh when changing substrate.

Con= Be weary of the dead air space between the plastic sheeting and wood . Trapped moisture will lead to fungus and molds.

I use something similar and it is just fine. I pin it to the side walls because they love to dig out corners and if you do not, they can get under it. I also put plastic garden edging in the corners so they are rounded out and they can not climb out. The lining is simple really, you just do it like you are wrapping the inside of a huge present.
I have heard of people using those cheap shower curtain liners as well. They are like $4 at Wal-Mart.
