Firstly, Hi all (first post)
I've been searching forums and looking for similar cases but unluckily found none, so I decided to make one.
I'm from Australia and recently bought a JBL Euro Woody 120 from America and it arrived the other day, in seemingly good condition. I managed to take it for a dive this morning and there were no issues. I came home washed it out and left it to dry in the back room, when I grabbed it to bring to my room, I noticed a bit white around the line release (pictures explain more than I) and with it, a dark strain that looked to be water leaking into the wood going toward the butt, however its been like 12 hours since the dive and it's dried/gone now.
-As it is a big gun, I'd prefer not to post it back to America as it would probably cost around $70 US
-As far as I am aware, JBL has warranty on the metal parts only and not the wood :'(
-If there is a leak into the wood, how bad is that?
-I guess I am asking what would be the best approach to fix this, ie send shop/DIY/try my luck with JBL
-How would I fix this? This is my first woody/only second gun.
*It was only loaded twice, and shot twice. BOTH times one band was used in the shortest shark fin.
*Sorry for the poor pictures, bad camera and flash on metal parts caused 99% of them to blur/white out*
