Silicone smell in bioactive tank

[chelsea87]

Hello!
I am new to this forum. I have a question if anyone has advice. I built a custom background in my crested geckos new bioactive tank. Its been sitting for about 4-6 weeks and there is still a faint silicone smell. I have kept the doors open and have put a fan on it but there is still a slight smell. Would it be safe to put my crestie in there? Or should i continue to let it sit?

Some people would wait longer. I'd probably just go with it. I recommend you wait for some other opinions just to be sure.
