So, is there any treatment for 'boo to help it stop from cracking apart in summer heat?
Every once in a while I get the crap scared out of me by what sounds like gunfire coming from behind the bar, and when I go to check, another piece of the canopy or shelf-edging is split up.
Is there some kind of coating (I just have it singed & stained) or do I just leave it & call it the aged look?
