I'm absolutely fine with the wrap idea, so if you want to do a trade in exchange for the real wood, we'd have to figure out shipping costs and if you'd be willing to pay for shipping back and forth since I'd just be covering it eventually anyways, but you need something that isn't a solid plastic. I'm close to you being in Boise, so other than finding someone who's actually in AZ, I might be your best bet at this point.

Correct, baking old and cured clear at too high of a temp can cause cracking. The baking is used to actually cure the clear he lays over the carbon. Believe me when I tell you that he knows what he is doing.
Let me explore ideas that may arise a bit closer. If needed, I have some friends that live in Boise that will be heading down in the next month or two, so that may be a possibility for transport (at least one way).
I'm not too worried, because I can always shoot my trim temporarily until I run across something local.
