Queen Palm - Tiki Carving

A note to those using it for the first time. DO NOT APPLY IN WET WEATHER AND MAKE SURE THE CARVING IS DRY! I just went through having to strip of some on another sculpture. The resin didn't take and was slow to solidify and turned the sculpture an ugly brown. Fortunately, I was able to save it. The resin does not like moisture and in any case needs to be applied sparingly. When used correctly it looks great and offers a lifetime of protection against the elements.
