Well I'm not sure what Ron O. does exactly, but I always burnish the top =
with the shaft of large screwdriver or some such piece of metal.  Hold =
the handle and the blade and massage the top of the bridge to compress =
the fibers and increase the density a bit.  These days I'm using a water =
thin epoxy to coat the top of the bridge whether I'm recapping or =
repinning and renotching. =20

             I like this idea I just couldn't recall the details. Rubs =
it with what or do you mean rubs it out after the finish is on.  Bob Hof =
wrote in ptj that likes to saturate his new bridge tops with shellac =
first which hardens and supports wood fibers. Any one who has used thin =
epoxy or shellac on maple knows how porous it actually is

    Dale:

    Check out Ron Overs' bridge top method.  I think he rubs it down to =
harden it and just puts a clear finish on the top and lets it go at =
that.  You could also put a thin coat of water thin epoxy to seal and =
harden it.
