Finish schedule on my latest tenor includes pore fill with medium ca, sealer coat of shellac, 5 coats cardinal lacquer, flat back with 600 grit Abranet, 3 coats lacquer, flat back, 3 coats lacquer. I have worked up to 4000 abralon pads. I'm going to let it rest, then buff in a week.
The problem is, in removing the plastic disc covering the sound hole, I seem to have peeled back a little of the lacquer, maybe a piece with a 1/16" radius, where it wraps around the rounded edge of the sound hole. It looks dead skin on a blister where it has delaminated. I'm looking for repair advice. If I have to, I know I can remove the lacquer and start over, but yikes.
I've had three ideas. In order of preference:
1. try to wick in a little shellac with a q-tip from behind to glue the finish back down.
2. try to wick in a little thin ca from behind to glue the finish back down.
3. try to wick in a little lacquer from behind to glue the finish back down.
Any advice from the experienced?
Thanks,
Nelson
