Hey all
I just took delivery of the SSCM-1E kit. After my first build (a TL-1 with my 14-yo son) I thought I'd step up the challenge just a little with this build. I'm going for a danish oil finish rather than painting this time around.
I've started sanding the body with 120 grit and noticed a couple of potential hurdles. I'm hoping I can get some help from people here.
1. The binding on the body near the neck cut-out is standing a little higher (1mm) than the wood on the body. What's the best way to make the binding level with the wood? Sanding? A sharp knife? (I'd like to show a photo but for some reason I'm finding it a challenge to upload a photo to this forum from my computer - any tips on that too?)
2. There are a number of glue marks around the binding. I've heard that using Goof Off is the best way to remove these. Is that correct or is there another good way to remove the glue marks?
Looking forward to your thoughts!
