mattbass6 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Does anyone know how to "sweat out" a dink in a lacquered body of a bass? Bought it new recently but didn't see the dink in the shop. A bit gutted so, if you have any solutions to solve this, I would be grateful. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grissle Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Laquer Drop filling technique is the proper method. But finding someone with thatt skill could be tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlungerModerno Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) I know it depends on the finish (nitro or poly) as well as the extent of the damage (to the wood or just dented paint...). A guitar restorer or finisher/refinisher might be the best to ask for advice. Hopefully one will take a look at the specimen and let you know how to make it better (or make it better for you ). Check out these for techniques or tricks... in the meantime: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xx4Zx5j0uE"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xx4Zx5j0uE[/url] [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgDG3gHk9Fo"]https://www.youtube....h?v=sgDG3gHk9Fo[/url] [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B32lbUhw_jA"]https://www.youtube....h?v=B32lbUhw_jA[/url] Edited October 9, 2014 by PlungerModerno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
