I wipe down my boards with a rag after spraying with wd40 at the end of each season. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

In between use the moisture evaporates from the boards. Last edited by bctomcat; 09/28/21 04:32 PM. The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

Even if I'm in the high alpine desert we do get plenty of humidity .
