: Yes, I precoat. There are many reasons- one being that I do a lot
: of inlays and I like to be sure any gaps are filled before
: epoxying. It's easiest to just coat the whole board, then sand
: well. Also the precoat does allow me more control of how much
: gets absorbed into the wood. The REAL reason for the precoat,
: however, is that it shows up all the screwups I missed and I can
: fix them before I glass. :)
