Glenn, Roland, Jon, and list; I have found that what works best for me in transfering dry decals is an old, or new, treble hammer. Extend the tail a little and it does an excellent job of making the pressure/heat needed to transfer the decal without the little chicken scratches that sometime show up in the softer portions of the grain. (be sure and file the hammer for a smooth surface) Question: Roland and Jon mention water based finishes for sounding boards. Any thoughts pro and con on the use of water based finishes on sounding boards? I have considered using such but have not done so at this point because of my lack of experience with these finishes.
