I tried something similar (basket made from similar leaves) and found that when dried the leaves shrink alot and the structure become a little loose

I'm noticing that the material works easiest slightly dried out. Not green not dry. Just cutting it and giving it 24 hours is working well for me. It loses a lot of water quickly. My question is about how well it will hold up when totally dried out. Might have to spray it with something but don't really want to.
Anybody have any bright ideas on something that it could be sprayed with to help maintain structure with out using a heavy synthetic?
GlisGlis:
once dried is pretty durable but I think it's not worth the hassle of coating it
I'd use it until it wear out than do another one
