Started prepping my barrel yesterday. Daughter and myself filled it will good warm/hottish water. 5.1 gallons to be exact.
Really entertaining to watch as it seals itself slowly.
However the back end (along the face plate) and 2 spots on the bottom refuse to seal.
Now I am in the process of draining and sealing with wax.
Wife is not entirely crazy about me using a Small blow torch in the house to melt some wax. Appearently "it's all good" does not reassure her the way I had hoped!
But this sure is an experience!
