Just be careful when handling, pieces can get sharp edges. If you do have some sharp edges, go ahead and smooth them down with some sandpaper. You can also use a clean PVC pipe for a nice lil cave too. You can use some 100% silicone (no additives!), coat the ouside in a thin layer and roll the pipe in substrate. This'll create a nice little haven that blends in and doesn't stick out like a sore thumb
