Anything I need to do before glue up (smooth-on)?

Anything I need to do for a clear finish?

I have used it several times with no problems.  Can't say about the finish as I use one that works well on oily wood. It is a very nice looking wood and one of my favorites.

Other than sanding sealer needed I haven't had any other issues with glue up or finish.

Nice stuff and nothing to worry about as long as it is dry. But that is true with most all exotics.
