    Cleaning up bindings

    Here's a tip when cleaning up bindings when using stain:

    I've found that using a small amount Methylated Spirits on a rag and carefully rubbing the effected area will help remove unwanted stain. Keep rolling the rag over to avoid spreading any colour from the rag to the binding.The metho may remove a small amount of stain on the body but will quickly evaporate and may be re-stained if required. Some scraping may be required but at least the majority of stain will be removed. Great for doing those tricky 'f holes' on hollow and semi-hollow body kits.
