My latest thought was stand him up and use like 2 part clear epoxy, or better yet a 2 part resin and fill the bottom "feet" with it. When it dries it will be clear and glossy, just as the rest of the tiki will be after I clear it, actually got the idea from watangos moai. The resin I honk will make it stronger then regular wood anyway.. As far as the hankypoo goes I did just stain it with espresso so it is brown like poo. Hahaha! I'll keep ya posted and let ya know what happens.. Fastbackadam
