The Novice

I am new to the world of guitar building and have a query for you more experienced builders.
I have a Telecaster type kit with an ash body and when sanding the back of the body I removed a small of what appears to be laminate.
Does anyone know how or if if I can repair the damage ( btw it's a very small area ) in a way that will allow me to stain the body.

Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome.

A couple of ideas come to mind:
1 glue it back in and rub it back
2 find a colour of Timbermate (Bunnings have it and it's good) that best matches and use that. Timbermate stains fine

hi and welcome Novice,
can you please post a photo of the area so we have a better idea ?
If you need to fill an area then Stans suggestion of a similar colour timbermate probably your best option and sand it back once its dried

Thanks for the suggestion stan, will try Bunnings.
BTW the wood is virgin unstained as delivered.

Thanks for the advise workaboy will keep you guys posted.
Wish me luck.
At least if I stuff it up I still have my Gretsch double cutaway to play with
