It's natural for melon plant and fruit to get wet isn't it? I mean in nature rain falls everywhere.Whether from rain or from me, my melons get wet all the time. I also have no problem getting my stumps wet. I water them all the time (usually twice a day) and they are just fine.I know this isn't for everyone but seems to be no problem for me here in Knoxville. I had a few fingers and secondaries rot due to my ignorance but all my stumps are solid. Even the one with the bad break (211 Leonard) is fine.

I would be afraid of water but I see what your saying, we use shade table to keep the skin soft and pliable. Is there a moisturizer that wouldn't cause rot? Anti-Monkey Butt powder is handy when the temps get high. You can even use one of those old hand crank dusters LOL
