My boss brought me a 3 1/2 ft. Tiki he had in his back yard and was gonna throw it away but first wanted to see if I wanted it. But of course!! The problem is the top and bottom have dry rotted from being on the ground and having a plant sitting on top(to look like hair). My question is once I dry it out is there anyway to preserve from getting worse. Like polyurtene(s.p.?) or paint. Even the cuts for the eyes are soft too. You can't tell except by touch otherwise it's in great shape. Any help would be appreciated. THANKS
