So far things going ok, but I noticed I have a crack emanating from one of the two matching knotholes in the lower bout. It's not all the way thru, but when I mount the braces (16ft radius and 16" lower bout), it's gonna exaggerate the crack. I'm thinking cleats on the inside toward the ends of the crack, and then hoping the pore fill will cover the visual. If not, CA before lacquer....? My question is: cleat before mounting the braces, or after? Inclined towards the former, but looking for experienced (which I'm not, guitar number 5) input. Thanks, Roy
