I put Minwax wood hardener on it to help resist dents in the soft basswood. The surface is definitely firmer than before. I read that some people use a coat of CA glue to protect their basswood, but the wood hardener is cheaper and it was easy to work with.

Now to fill the dents and it'll be ready for primer.
That should hold it! Good work.
