Sone time ago I read an interesting post by Owen Daly (or so I remember) about sizing the soundboard with very diluted hide glue. I can't find the message again, so I ask you listers, or Owen, a couple of questions.

1. Do the sizing happen before or after the bridge, ribs etc are glued to the board?

2. Do the bridge and ribs get sized as well?

3. How to know the glue is properly diluted? I found a suggestion: 90% water, 10% glue; is it right?

Thank you in advance, and by the way, if anybody could point me to Owen's original post, all the better.

Regards
Domenico
