Thanks NorthernCF. You mention "obnoxious bubbles in ruff cut pieces". How rough cut can the pieces be? In other words, how smooth does the edge need to be to glue it down. I practiced sanding on a piece of scrap first with 150, then 220, and finally with 600 just for the heck of it. The edges I did were almost clear surprisingly. I think the 600 wouldn't be necessary but how bout the 220?
