the one question i have had is what kind of paint you used to seal the wood inside the canopy. i want to cut out the base alittle for the lighting. i would need to seal the wood so it doesnt swell.

in the build thread the cut is better expained

Hey,

I used Epoxy glue to seal the edges first. Then I used Varathane Polyurethane to paint it.
