I have a 60's Martin style O and have been thinking of doing an over spray. It has a few surface cracks that I would like to consolidate and then do an overspray. I've heard that an over spray is routine when a Martin guitar goes to the factory for a repair. I think I am capable of doing this but wonder if I should just leave it alone. The cracks are just in the lacquer, looks like maybe it was dropped on the lower bout. There are maybe 9 surface cracks 1/8 inch away from each other in the shape of the lower curve. This is my favorite uke at the moment and it would be pefect except for those surface cracks. Would I be commiting a sin if I do this? The cracks are on the back.
