Yay for me. Anyway, I am experiencing mold issues mainly on the faces of the tikis I've already carved, and pretty much nowhere else. So far I have not put anything on them. I put them in the sun and it stops. Should I spray some kind of polyurethane sealer or something on them when they're done to avoid this? It rains like hell here just about every afternoon and I don't know what is worse...leaving them out in the weather to constantly be soaked & then sun-baked every day,....or keep them in the garage out of the sun where it's kinda damp & they get all moldy. After reading this thread I am still a little confused as to exactly what parts of the log I should seal, and with what. [ Edited by: pjc5150 2009-07-20 12:30 ]
