Tracy, thanks man, you did a great job on this video, I'm inspired to repair a Gretch that has some chips similar to your 8 string. You did a stellar set up on one of my guitars and it plays like butta.

Looks like he removed the electrical tape from around the repair at around 3:43 or so, and then freestyled the scraping/sanding.

Hi. Glad to see this video 6 years after I guess... I have a moderate dent that was from the factory defect under the clear coat in the sound hole of my solid spruce top. Yes...I literately meant “in” the sound hole rim, that seems like they dented the wood with the neck clamp while laminating the neck to the body. There was no chipping , the wood did not break, it was just like a small concave surface. I guess I will just fill it up without doing any color. I wonder is the bonding strength enough for the fill n finish? Considering I have a really narrow apply surface, and I need to do all the sanding work later. I checked their website, and I found they now have two types for the clear fill n finish: standard and thin. Do you have any knowledge regarding how much more “thin” the thin type is? And how long do you need to wait for the fill to dry if you don’t use an accelerator? What else advantages do the accelerator gives other than speeding the drying process for this specific product? What is the content of this fill n finish, is it nitro based or some plastic based like poly? I had a very strong background in making hobby models (I was a professional hobby model builder for over 11 years), and I am pretty confident in my scraping and sanding skills. I used to work a lot on plastic and nitro surfaces, but I had never worked on polyurethane surfaces, are there any other tips you can give me? I’d be really thankful if you can get back to me after 6 years you created this video lol!

I found at the local WOODCRAFT store some STICK FAST brand CA BLACK FLEXIBLE (already tinted black) and an activator (activator chemically reacts to instantly harden CA). Used a similar technique only I added 3 steps of sandpaper to 3000 grit (local HD store-)adding 4000 would be better but wasn’t available. At this finish it is approaching a gloss finish. Finished it with automobile polish compound applied by hand on a cotton cloth and this brought it to life matching the black high gloss finish. You have to catch a light reflecting directly from the repair to distinguish the very slight difference of the CA fill.

Great video. I used your method on a guitar and it worked great. Do you think it would work on a scratch on a car finish? Seems like it would...just not sure the super glue would hold up being exposed to sunlight, rain, etc.
@mabul5134 жыл бұрын
On gloss japanese gloss can you drop fill with just runny superglue and just leave it to level out without sanding? If used runny enough and correct amount shojld fill a dink ? Or is that stupid? Finidh still on guitar. Just for level. ? What superglue is thin enough?

+DragonRoLo Those are tricky for now I would use a perm marker to get close to color, then quik seal with CA. lite sand, and repeat.
