Nothing better than time when doing finishing. I started using the glue sizing as a first step about 8 years ago when I switched from solvent based NC lacquer to water-based finishes. If you apply water based finishes directly onto raw, or even stripped old wood, considerable grain raising or "swelling" can occur. The hide glue helped minimize that considerably.
