Moved to Restoring Vintage Drums - I was Unable to Delete here

Hi Vintage Drum Forum Friends,

I have a question. I am in the process of restoring a set of early 70s Ludwig Mod Orange and am debating whether I should clear coat the interior of the shells especially the bass drum??? It is a maple shell with re-rings. I believe these were originally clear coated. The coating is pretty much worn off. My thought is to re-clear coat them, to help protect them and I think the shells look nicer. Your thoughts please.

Thank you,

Ronnie
