Thanks Wokks. Unfortunately I'd class that tear out as somewhat more than just minor. I had planned on filling with super glue and sanding back but if anyone has any better solutions I'm all ears. I doesn't look too bad now but I'm afraid once the stain goes down it's gonna highlight it like a sore thumb unless I can get something in there to fill the cracks.Quote:

Yeah that thought had crossed my mind about the super glue not taking the stain, I just thought the crack would be fine enough that it wouldn't be too noticeable. Unfortunately haven't got any Timbermate (nor the beans to buy any).Quote:

I think I'll just leave it as is.
Barge, firstly apologies for not getting on this thread earlier! You are doing great things here, have redefined the Strat shape for the better and going well on the cap. For the tear I tend to agree with pablo on the super glue not taking up the stain. Can the super glue be stained? Maybe have an experiment on some scrap. On my recent broken screw fix I stained some sawdust and titebond to make filler but super glue is a different beast altogether...
This maybe possible with superglue...

If it was a bigger chip out I'd entertain the sawdust/Titebond idea, but being that it's really only a hairline crack I don't think this method would be ideal.
I probably flag the super glue idea and just stain over and see what happens.
Here's the results of my little experiment using 2 coats of Dingotone (Nullabor Ochre), Super Glue is Stew Mac brand, medium(20).
Baking soda!! Who would of thunk. I might have to bear this one in mind post binding channel, depending on how badly I screw it up.Quote:
