It will help it expand and push into the pores on the wood. I try to always spray my joints, regardless of RH

My cousin was off today to we started early, but not on the current tuba. We hoped by the end of the day to finish the tuba all the way the last panel. Wishful thinking but set high standards get more done right lol.

17 hours, that’s what we used for day 5. WE are in a crunch to have the tuba tested by Saturday so we stayed up until it was done. I must say that lack of sleep could just be as bad as two high balls lol. (Which at the end wouldn’t have mind having) Around midnight My cousin and I pondered why we aren’t out and about drinking and dancing with the rest of our friends.
