Tommyp,
As promised here's the pictures of the interior coating I shot for a restoration on an old Japanese snare. The product comes out thick, and hardens very nicely, but at the sacrifice of some lost of tone on the shell. When I get it wrapped and set up, then we'll see how good the stuff works. For now, I'm checking into another "Rogers" type interior shell coating, preferably something a little thinner in consistency. On the second picture, I purposely took it to show what was being covered on the snare, lots of cracks and ply seperation, good wood glue and better wood filler, sanded to a perfect finish.
