Seating (after the initial stringing, and putting everything where you want it) is irrelevant, if everything else is where it belongs. I also recommend laminated bridge caps, to keep the pins from getting loose, and the notch edge from crushing in the first place. As usual, the archives have a whole lot of this stuff, times dozens, with details. Ron N
