Right - Back to where I was, Thank god.
Im at the "DONT TOUCH THE DARN THING" stage now, while I wait for the finish to cure, before cleaning it up a little. Started scraping the binding but I might just leave it a little longer, so I dont cause any damage.
Still need to clean out the pup holes and stuff, but for the moment the face at least looks like it's back on track.
