I am building an archtop guitar shaped octave mandolin and have a couple of questions.
1. I read in Robert Benedetto's book that he puts a sealer coat on the inside to help against rapid humidity changes. Is this common practice?
2. I have seen videos of reinforcing the F holes with gauze and glue. Wouldn't this change the response of the top. Are there other ways of reinforcing the F holes, and is it even necessary?
