 <br>
Thanks to the wonders of modern tech, waterproofing isn't that big of a
deal.  There are water seals for various types of things, from wood to
leather to fabric and none of them are very expensive.  They can
occasionally be a pain to apply but you're talking about having to do it once
every 3-5 years.  If Big Blue is used even at just Elfsea events and demos
it'll pay for itself quickly in terms of labor vs. dryness.<br>
