JBL AquaSil – Silicone for xaxim, terrarium and paludarium

JBL AquaSil is a silicone that can be used for xaxim , particularly interesting for enthusiasts of tropical terrariums , paludariums , natural decorative backgrounds and plant arrangements in humid environments.

It allows you to fix xaxim plates , hold certain decorative elements, stabilize natural supports or create clean assemblies in a planted or decorative installation.

Available in black or transparent , it adapts equally well to very natural settings as to more discreet collages depending on the desired visual effect.

A handy silicone for gluing the xaxim

Xaxim is a highly valued substrate in terrariums and tropical cultivation for its natural appearance, fibrous structure and ability to accommodate mosses, ferns, small epiphytic plants or live decorations.

When you want to create a terrarium base , fix a xaxim plate or stabilize certain elements in a humid installation, the choice of silicone is important.

The JBL AquaSil can be used for:

  • stick xaxim onto a support
  • attaching certain elements to a terrarium background
  • maintain decorative components
  • to create clean assemblies in a humid environment
  • working on a tropical terrarium or paludarium setting

It is a simple and practical solution for natural climbing enthusiasts looking for a durable and relatively discreet attachment.

Black or transparent: which version to choose?

The choice between black silicone and transparent silicone depends mainly on the desired look in your installation.

Transparent silicone

Transparent is often chosen when a more discreet finish is desired, particularly on visible areas or joints where the joint needs to remain as discreet as possible.

Black silicone

Black is particularly interesting for forest terrariums , dark backgrounds , tropical settings or mountains where a dark shade blends better into the decor.
It may look cleaner on certain xaxim or dark backgrounds.

Which size should I choose: 80 ml or 310 ml?

The JBL AquaSil is available in several capacities to suit the size of your project.

80 ml

The 80ml size is convenient for:

  • a small repair
  • a one-off collage
  • a small set
  • some plates or fixing points

This is a good choice if you are working on a small terrarium , a light setup, or have an occasional need.

310 ml

The 310 ml format is more suitable for:

  • a complete terrarium background
  • several xaxim plates
  • a larger project
  • a more ambitious tropical installation

If you have a real project involving scenery or a natural background, this format is often the most interesting.

Use in the presence of plants, mosses and animals

In a terrarium , paludarium , or live decor project, this question often comes up:
Can this silicone be used with plants and animals?

The essential point is simple:
The silicone must be completely dry/polymerized before any contact with living tissue .

Once the drying process is complete, this type of product can be used in facilities that accommodate:

  • tropical plants
  • mosses
  • microfauna
  • and terrarium animals

However, it obviously must not be put into service until it is completely polymerized .

In practice: you must always allow a complete drying time , in a well-ventilated environment, before introducing plants, mosses, water or animals.

This is an important point for working cleanly and safely.

What projects can this silicone be used for?

The JBL AquaSil can be used in many projects related to xaxim and humid terrariums :

  • bonding of xaxim plates
  • terrarium background creation
  • tropical set design
  • fixing natural supports
  • assembly of elements in paludarium
  • integration of green spaces
  • preservation of certain decorative elements in a humid environment

It can therefore perfectly find its place in an installation oriented towards:

  • tropical plants
  • mosses
  • ferns
  • epiphytes
  • forest terrariums
  • wet natural settings

Why use a silicone specifically designed for this type of project?

When working with xaxim or a tropical setting, it's not just about "making something stick".
We also need to consider:

  • sustainability
  • the cleanliness of the assembly
  • visual discretion
  • resistance to humidity
  • compatibility with a living installation once complete drying has been achieved

Poorly chosen silicone or poorly executed bonding can quickly become unsightly, fragile or impractical over time.
Conversely, a well-suited product allows for the construction of a cleaner, more stable, and more durable setting.

A good choice for your xaxim projects on Karnivores

If you are looking for a silicone for xaxim , a product that can be used to fix tropical decorations or to create a clean setup in a terrarium or paludarium , JBL AquaSil is a practical and consistent solution.

The choice between black and transparent , as well as between 80 ml and 310 ml , makes it easy to adapt to your project, whether it is a small gluing or a more complete installation.

Usage tips

Always apply to a clean, dry surface, then allow complete drying/polymerization time before any contact with plants , mosses , water or animals .
