i put lanolin on my first bodhran...sheeps oil and goat skin seems
quite compatible...i also fixed a tear in my rim...where tacks ripped thru with shoe goo....it is for repairing athletic shoes...and is strong..it depends on wher ethe rip is...how much pressure it will have on it....humidity is very low here in summer...and in winter when wood stove in on too. my first bodhran was made in the foggy coastal area.
not a good mix with the inland valleys and mountains...where it gets above 100 in the summer and sometimes single digit humitidy...and so it goes...now i keep my drum misted and wrapped in plastic...not too good for the fragrance, but it seems to help it.
