 You have two options when it comes to finishing. The easiest way is to

-is to apply several layers of lacquer and wet sand it down in

 \section{Drying}
 
 Once one side of each piece is finished, you'll need to lay them out
-for a half hour or so to let them dry. (Longer if using lacquer.) Once
-one side is dry, repeat the process on the other side. After you've
-finished the construction you can come back and add another few coats
-to the outermost surfaces for a smoother texture. Once it's dried for

-soldering the diodes and controller onto the circuit board, but don't
-solder any switches in before the switch plate is ready or you'll just
-need to remove them later.
