Title: finish "touch up" question
Post by: moo cow on May 09, 2006, 01:39:12 PM
was curious of any good advice on fixing a tiny dinger on the edge of my larrivee.  it's right on the maple binding. didn't dent the wood at all but popped an 2mm piece of the clear finish off. i didn't realize how thick that gloss finish is. 
do any luthiers out there have a good touch up methods.  i like to keep my guitars minty fresh and will send it to larrivee if needed.

Take it to a luthier ... it shouldn't be necessary to send it to Larrivee, but finish touchups aren't easy to do invisibly if you don't have experience.

Be careful if you try it yourself.  If you aren't experienced, you'll likey end up with a ding that looks like it got covered up rather than a ding that disappeared.
