Polished horn would be the most susceptible to water warps but, like what was said earlier a good wax coating should protect them just fine....

Keep in mind that if these are celluloid scales that they can just warp from age...
Just to address the confusion, I have two T Hessen Bruch's. One had yellow wood scales that warped when I soaked them. The other has slcik black, which probably is plastc. I have managed not to warp them, but was wondering how to protect them. If your point is telling me how to seal the yellow scales I already warped won't help me with the slick black scales, I would say that's a good point!

However this has still been helpful because I do wnat to try to fix the yellow onces someday.
