hi all, I have a couple of older Yamaha guitars I am practicing on touching up cracks and small dings on the body and neck 1 - I put CA (super glue ) to fill in 2 - I scrapped carefully with razor blade and tape on both sides 3 - I used micro mesh to sand down 4 - what is the best way to repair the finish to blend back in??? Any thoughts tricks or products - appreciate the feedback - thanks |

I use a power buffer with medium and fine buffing compound to bring back the gloss on touch up repairs. You can also use foam buffing wheels in a power drill, available from Stew Mac. I suggest not going crazy with repairing dings, they are part of the character of an old guitar and its easy to make them look worse. |
