Epoxy on soundboards

[David Love]

The thin clear coat epoxies flow out better than normal epoxies but
still not great.  Use a decent brush (which must be discarded afterward)
to get the surface as smooth as possible.  An orbital sander cleans it
up pretty will.  If you put on a satin finish or rub out the finish,
rather than a high gloss, any irregularities will be less visible.

How then, do you get an acceptable finish on something as visible as the
soundboard if the epoxies does not flow out?
