Keeping out moisture

[Vautex]

Thats cool Mick. I dont hate it with a passion or anything, like I said, my first didge is covered in it and its awesome. When I first saw it I thought it was just wicked and most of the people in the store wanted one just like it.

In fact, one guy I listen to called Mark Hoffmann has his didges made buy a guy called Bob Druett and his didges are coated inside and out with something shiny too that Im sure is epoxy. When I met Mark and showed him my didge he actually thought it was one of Bob's Didges, so for this reason I reckon he must use some sort of epoxy too.

I did seriously consider it for a while but considered it to be too expensive an experiment considering the somewhat permanant consequences. Having never used it before put me off a bit, plus I live in a unit which makes things a bit awkward. I figured shellac to be a cheaper option that I reckon looks **** hot too. It may not have the durability but then its easily repaired and Im only blowin in it after all. I also read its actually used on the ends of logs to help them season, so if its good enough for that it may just have the strength to stop a didge from splitting.

I reckon epoxy has its place though. If I ever decide to make a didge by splitting a log, hollowing both halves, then join it back together, I will surely use epoxy in this instance.
Im getting a lot out of the different opions. Cheers people.
