I’m covering the final coat on both tiers, how to dowel correctly, how to place the top tier without a board for a cleaner finish, and how to seal the seam so the join is completely invisible. This is the video most people are too scared to attempt - but once you see it broken down step by step it’s actually very straightforward.
