bridge top finish

I know some rebuilders are leaving the dag off of the
bridge tops.  Do you coat the top with some kind of
finish to slow down moisture transfer or just for
looks?  I have normally sprayed the bridge sides and
notches as I finished the soundboard and kept the
bridge cap taped off.


I'm wondering how well a finish will hold up under the
pressure of the strings.  Some finishes, like lacquer,
it seems, might crack.   - Didn't have to consider
that with Dag.
