Personally, I wouldn't put any potential water blocker in the trap holes
unless I lived out in the arid west.  Every time it rains, I have to "boil"
the water out of my low TH3 by turning up the power until it starts working
agn.  During those times, I'm glad to have the C4 above it, no math
required.....
