Fishing Sharkskin
Non-petroleum, non-rubber waterproofing for wood? starting with a rattan-like material (not true rattan, but..
similar to it) which of the following would make better waterproofing?
(This is for a writing project, not for school, and I can't do actual testing.)
possible choices: charcoal, wood alcohol, acetic acid, creosote, pine resin, turpentine, vegetable oil, rendered lard, floor wax, sharkskin. any combination of the above
Applied how? just soaked? Boiled in, painted on? In what order?
The object is to get a material that originally grew in water waterproof enough to withstand continuous soaking in water without becoming soft and useless again. It is to be used for building boats, cages for fish-farming, water's-edge construction, etc. No alternative materials are available, so we must learn to make do with what we have.
Thanks for all serious answers. If this isn't clear enough, ask for more details and I'll provide them. I won't award the best answer without checking your additional details, either.
Fair enough?

A 50/50 combination of turpentine & linseed oil. Sprayed , brushed, anyway to get it on. I use it to seal my deck. It is a great wood protector. If you don't have linseed oil try vegetable oil.
