...actually the funny thing is that I just finished making a fiberglass custom flight case for my RAGMAKAMTAR... and I actually managed to put it off! So now I am getting familiar with how this stuff works... but man it is toxic stuff - I was in a haze for 2 weeks! (and almost divorsed because of it!):))

That's not funny Edward, please take care!

If you can't beg, borrow or otherwise obtain breathing apparatus, at least try to do it outdoors.

yes, not funny at all! Just that alone is a big plus for just sticking with wood. Even having a filter and doing it outdoors is not completely enough (although <b>certainly totally essential</b> for this kind of work)

Wood is looking good! I was reading on another oud forum, the well-known and respected maker says he sprays the entire inside of the oud, soundboard and all with a moisture barrier, (& his soundboards are only 1mm thick) maybe that would solve your humidity/warping problems.
