Point taken - bamboo trays suck and they inevitably leak. However I
sealed one up with Gorilla Glue over a year ago and it has yet to leak
again. It does see almost daily use, so the bamboo stays wet and
expanded.

What do you use instead of a bamboo tray? One of those giant things
with build-in seats made out of the entire stump of some now-extinct
species of rainforest tree?
