I'm in the process of building a few slot resonators with timber slots. I'm probably just going to put on a clear laquer on the slots to match the desk for my console (which I bought from someone else). I'm assuming that I need to sand the slots before applying the laquer. Is this true? Also what would be the disadvantages of not sanding if this is the case?
Thanks !
Sanding question?

There would be no sonic disadvantage, just a cosmetic disadvantage of not sanding.
I am assuming you will be using a fine grit paper for smoothing only correct?

purely cosmetic - no acoustical difference IMO.
