: Ha! A good solid glue joint, and not more than water vapor can get inside.

That's why I would use bead/cove next time. The surface area on some of those joints is down in the 1/16" and 1/8" range. I should be okay but it defanately needs glass. I was originally going to use CF but it's too spendy right now.

: How floppy is floppy?

It has a fair degree of spring; maybe 1". I will probably build another one and do it a little differenly.

: Or Sex Wax!! Ha!

... I don't think I'm going to touch that one. It's tempting though :D
