: Sue,
: I'm in agreement with Dave. I use a finger plane to quickly knock the high
: spots off. Then a quick dash of 100 hundred gritto set her even with the
: surface around it. It Shouldn't take you but 2-3 minutes a vertical drip.
: Perhaps tpo minutes more on a sheet drip or slump. It goes quick and its
: worth doing. Remember the details you sweat now will be the one's ya don't
: see later
: Good luck and Enjoy.
: !Russ

Yep -- but once you've got the drips & humps, you're *done* (my original read of the question was that you've already gotten them-- and wondering whether you should be doing more to prep the saturation coat prior to glassing.)
