Ed, I agree with you about not wetting the butt end of the red. I only wet the vamp, never the butt end. Mostly because there doesn't seem to be a need for the part with bark on it to be wet - it can't be made more flexible in the process.
But, you know, I'm sure, that you're butting straight up against other players, including Ben Armato, (a well-experienced player) who insisted you should never soak the vamp directly, that you should put the butt end in water and let the water wick up into the vamp (I could never make this work - the vamp never seemed to get wet enough to play on).
Just sayin'....
