geezz Simon that's not to good mate but if theirs someone on the forum who can fix it properly it is you, the guy who said about using bondo on the big gap is right i have used it on similar problems, on my GS2Q build when the veneer near the binding i uses a neutral timber mate and mixed in some of the same colour as i used on the quilt worked pretty good and couldn't see the fix when i did the finish.
