Plasti-Dip?

So I just got my babies today (YAY) and I was wondering: I know for a fact that, once fully cured, plasti-dip is completely aquarium safe (as stated both by the company, and by various aquarium keepers who have used it for tank decorations and fixtures)
However, I know that axolotls are very different from fish, and can be sensitive to things that are harmless to their finned counterparts.
So, does anyone have experience with plasti-dip hides/decorations in their tank? Is it safe?

Combing the internet, years later, I'm not finding anything more than what you've asked. Does anyone have experience with Plasti-dip and amphibians? I'm thinking over-foam background sealant.

I've used plasti dip for bits on my motorcycles and garden things. Personally I wouldn't put it anywhere near an aquarium. Mostly as it eventually flakes off what ever you stick it too.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
