I have a cardboard tube (well, potentially dozens, as they are thrown away at work), and think it would make a perfect 'bee log' if I could make it waterproof. Does anyone have an idea what I could paint it with that would waterproof it without poisoning any bees or other insects that might use the hollow stems I plan to put inside? I have tried wrapping one in polythene, but it went mouldy eventually under the plastic.
Or does anyone have any ideas for alternative uses for it/them?
The diameter edge to edge is 90mm, the wall thickness is about 8mm and length is 220mm, although we do have longer tubes too..
