Soundboard Finishing

[Farrell]

Does it matter what part you put on first? (I have always mixed the two
together first) And no problem with finish adhesion? The sanding removes all
unwanted residue?

Sorry for all the questions, but this seems so foreign to me - but it sounds
great! I may just try it because I just shimmed an OLD square grand and the
board color is quite dark and REALLY  contrasts with the white shims.
