I filled it, downed it and then used it. Is that OK?

Excellent. We have just had a Masters open in our city about 4 weeks ago. I have looked at their online catalogue and there are four types of Titebond; Original, Original ultimate, Type II Premium and type III Ultimate. Which is the one you recommend? I'm so confused, maybe I should just make some glue up from flour and water. It always worked at school.

The Titebond has been purchased and some sandings mixed with a drop. I've put a dollop into the divot and will sand it down tomorrow. Meanwhile, the neck has had its first coat of amber. Also, love the grain on the front of the headstock. I hope it shows through.
Well, the Titebond and shavings trick worked pretty well. Thanks to all who offered advice! So... I've sanded back the body and put on the first deep coat of a custom green (a bit like bottle green) that DB made up for me. I'm already loving how it looks so it will only get better with more coats and the gloss. I really hate waiting this 48 hours stuff. I just wanna keep going /-)
Gday Lawry. Looks fantastic. Great body shape and great color choice. Ill be keeping a close eye on this one.
the green looks good!

Looking great lawry. Can't see the patch in the photo at all. The colour looks awesome - just perfect for this model guitar. I also like your headstock shape! Awesome work. Really interested to see her coming together.
Cheers,
Gavin.

The patch has done a pretty good job and although it is still noticeable to me I can live with it.
I've just put the second coat of Vintage Amber on the neck. Man, the way the light shines on it while it's still wet gives it so much depth. I really hope the gloss coats give it the same effect! Still have to wait another 24 hours before I can do the second coat on the body. It's really deceptive up here in Mackay with our 30 degree days because you'd swear it was dry.
Coool headstock design - really nicely balanced shape IMO.
Did that lovely swirly woodgrain come through on the front?
Photo please . . .
its looking good Lawry,
and yes photos of the front please
