Hey guys newb here! I'm working on my first build. A Martin OM rosewood laminate kit. I just put the sound box together and binded the guitar. They sent with the kit a white plastic binding. It all looks great but it seems when I sand it that it scratches it. How can I sand or what can I sand with to make it look good? Thanks for the help! - Caleb |

Try using a scraper such as a new razor blade. |

After you sand the whole box, go back with a razor blade as Mark recommended. You can turn one into a small scraper like so: http://frets.com/FretsPages/Luthier/Technique/Finish/RazorScrape/razorscrape1.html That will smooth out the binding nicely. |
