That's what happens when you fail to follow the established 'rules' for the proper use of such wood on that particular kind of a project.`
The proper use of the maple in in constructing a flapper valve and ball- float.
Remember what the traditional wisdom says -- 'Put a Tiger in your Tank!'
Maybe a piece from a pack of rubber non-slip shower floor stickons placed on the tank top at the edge would prevent the finish from wearing off the toilet lid.
For the float, yes, but for the flapper, no. Maple is too buoyant, you'd need something denser than water, such as cocobolo.
