This build was going well until the binding went on. Scraping the binding uncovered a soft, mealy spot. I thought I could scrape/sand it away, but ended up taking off most of the binding in one spot. Photos below tell the story.
Is there any way to fix this short of routing off the binding and putting on new? This instrument has a Spanish heel, so that would not be a very easy process. I have dissolved some of the celluloid faux tortoise binding in acetone with the intent of building up the affected area. But I thought I'd check here for better solutions first. Any advice would be appreciated!
