Hey everybody- I had a question about protecting high end instruments and any thoughts or experiences would be helpful. I was wondering about what kind of wax would work for sealing the edges of drums. (without affecting the sound) I keep my drums in my attic which fluctuates widely from season to season. I make efforts to keep the climate in control(like ac and insulation) but still my high end drums are exposed to more extremes than Id like them to be....
I had the idea of sealing the top and bottom edges with any kind of wax to keep them from any kind of warping or damage. My logic being that moisture would be able to enter (or leave) through the seperation of plies on the edges. I kinda got the idea from the Gretsch factory video where they explain they do this when wet sanding. So, has anyone ever done this? Is my theory sound? What kind of was would I use? Would was affect the way they sound? Thanks Jason with winter approaching
