For a clean finish with no visible fixings, apply a suitable instant grab adhesive to the back face; where additional mechanical fixing is needed, pre-drill pilot holes to avoid splitting the grain near the ends. Once fixed, apply your chosen finishing oil, stain, or lacquer in the conditions stated by the manufacturer, ensuring the room is adequately ventilated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between nominal and finished size on these boards?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNominal size refers to the rough-sawn measurement before machining.
