[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by ham99</i> <br /><br />Flee307: No on the wall studs, but yes on the inside of the cabinets -- both kitchen and bathroom. Of course. And they aren't going to be flooded with water during the scenery and ballasting process like your layout benchwork. I varnish everything top and bottom, inside and out. At least two coats on top where the moisture from the ballasting and Sculptamold will be going. I've seen layouts that had to be redone because the plywood delaminated on top. Hard to keep track aligned when it is just glued to a 1/32" bubble of veneer. <br />[/quote]My cabinets are not, and neither are any at Lowes, home depot, or the local custom cabinet shop where mine came from. My $900 Kitchen table and chairs are not finished on the bottom either (gasp) and neither is my coffee table and hutch. BTW, If you use that much wet glue you are using too much. :) Wet glue is basically a one time thing anyway. Fred
