---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Andrew Makes sense to me . Certainly we can't prevent moisture movement in wood (I doubt that would such a good idea anyway), but we can slow the rate and thus flatten out some of the swings the soundboard experiences. All of the soundboards I have applied epoxy to have had crown, flat boards get replaced. As it should be I use System Three Epoxy. The surface condition is usually pretty rough after drying and I sand it and coat it with lacquer and rub it out to a satin (usually) finish. You mean rough after the epoxy application? Right? then lacquer. I have never warmed the epoxy to improve flow, but I think I will try that the next time. Definitely I have been debating with myself over the wisdom of using epoxy as a sealer on a new soundboard. Any thoughts on this? I was just thinking about this. Why not. it's an extra step but one that could be very beneficial as long as the coating wasn't too thick. Dale I hope that helps some.
