RKCrowe Posted September 25, 2020 Report Posted September 25, 2020 A quick and straight question! I want to do a water bottle, but I live in Florida, south Florida! Sub-Tropical! Question: for the wax sealing inside, how does hot temperatures affect the seal? How to deal with the heat? I am sure historically this had to be dealt with! Ok, a couple questions! Thank you cheers Quote

RKCrowe Posted September 26, 2020 Author Report Posted September 26, 2020 I do have a water bladder from Tandy for that, thank you. And I will probably use it, but was interested in the historical context. Quote
Members Aven Posted September 26, 2020 Members Report Posted September 26, 2020 My library is packed up at the moment, so I can't quote you a source. Pitch. Pitch is what was traditionally used. The Scandinavians made/make birch tar from birch trees. I don't know what the continent used, but I'm sure it was something similar. Tree tar/pitch was used to weatherproof stuff and as a glue. See if you can find a copy of Black Jacks and Leather Bottells. Its old enough you might find it on one of the CDs that ebay sellers hock that have 100+ books all about whatever you are looking for.
