A guitar I was spraying with nitro lacquer slipped from where it was drying and ended up face-down on a towel (not the soft cotton kind, but like a bath towel). By the time I found it, the lacquer was mostly dry. When I picked it up, the lacquer at the edge of the guitar lifted off and I have a spot where there's just bare wood with about 11 coats of lacquer built up around it. At the other end of the guitar, pieces of the towel got stuck in the lacquer and I can't get them out - like little strants of cloth about the size of a tuner screw. Should I just wait untill it's dry, sand smooth, and start over? Or is there a better way...
YIKE'S ! The chip can be drop filled, But the strands on the other end sounds like trouble. The only thing I can think of is, If you have a air brush? Grab the strand with a pair of tweesers and shoot some straight thinner around it. Then pray the strand lifts off and the Lacquer melts back? Other than that it's a do over. Good Luck.
Thanks. Yeah, the strands are what worry me. It's ironic that I put the towel there so if the guitar fell it wouldn't hit something hard, and now the towel is causing me problems.
I *may* be able to sand it out with 400 or 320 gritt, but I don't know for sure. Maybe a little lacquer thinner to help or something...
