发帖数: 379 | 1 Sorry for my writing in English 'cuz I'm on my office computer. All right,
here's the story. I droped this bady the other morning and it hit the strap
button of another guitar. The back of neck was dented quite heavily.
OOOuuuch, It hurts. I sorted out the facts that 1) The finish is polyster,
which means it won't be melt by solvent and be perfectly repaired 2) The
finish didn't go off. So I didn't wanna go for the "nail polish" approach.
Thinking it over, I came up with an idea. I then checked it up on the
Internet and found people had used it before. I unfortunately lost the title
of the inventer, lol. Anyway, at least I knew it should work. Here we go.
I placed a folded piece of damped paper towel on the 'wound' and used a
solder iron to 'massage' the area. Just slightly press the iron tip on the
towel and enjoy the steaming zzzzzzz sound. The heat and moisture would help
to restore the wood to its original form.
I did this for several minutes until the wood wouldn't come out any further.
The dent was not so deep at that time but it was still there. And you can
see the finish cracks like a broken piece of glass.
All right, here's the thing I use to fix it: CA glue.
I bought this one for my ongoing project. They carry the same material at
the homedepot marketed as 'super glue'. But those are of much higher density
and not suitable for this purpose. You need to buy the 'water / ultra thin'
one from a hobby shop.
I droped some CA glue on to the dented area. You can see the crack
disappeared. There was just some excessive glue on the surfce. I then wet
sanded down the area with some 400, 600, 800 grid sand papers. I droped some
glue and sanded again until the surface was leveled.
Here is the final result.
you wont see the dent any more if you don't look carefully at a certain
angle. That is it. Plus, a dent fix costs around $100 to $300 at a luthier. | x****n

了再上烙铁。
改天我也去买 ultra thin glue 把我好几把琴上的clean coat dent 修一下。
这是把什么琴？Polyester paint on a mahogany neck? A Taylor?
好想冲到你家里看琴,可惜这段时间太忙，过一小会儿吧 ：）

Right, it won't come out totally neither in my case. But the glue helps fill
the gap.
The iron works like a charm on bare wood when building a new guitar.
It's a Larrivee acoustic.
