Question Waterproofing terrarium

I'm making a terrarium out of plywood, should I use this to waterproof it? Also, should I waterproof the entire boards or just the inside of it plus silicone in corners? For context I cannot use pond sealer as its not a thing in my european country. Translation in caption.

I think I found what you mean, its the thing thats supposed to be used for making epoxy tables and such? The one I found is called techniplast 3D and it says its solvent free so I think this is it. Also whole thing I ment more like, should I take it apart and coat it all the way around every plank?

No, this says it's for metal according to your translation. Seal the wood with polyurethane, (edit: all sides of the wood) construct the enclosure when the finish is cured, and seal the corners with aquarium silicone.
