: One reason I pre-sealed all the wood immediately after staining my Night

: You can file, scrape or sand down the drip without damaging the

I had the thought that I should've sealed the stained panels before I stitched them together but I just didn't take the time. That extra layer of protection would have solved the problem.

Oh well, lesson learned. :\
