Hi everyone,
So I was wondering about what to do when you get a crack in the finish (nitro-cellulose)?
I don't have to worry about humidity where I am, but in transit from overseas a crack developed in the finish (high gloss). Only small and only really visible if you're looking for it. It's just below the neck on the back.
I've tried searching on UU and online but couldn't find anything really that answered my questions.
So I've been assured the crack is in the finish only. Do I leave it completely alone or do I need to do something to "protect it"? I have no experience with this stuff!
Is it worth researching a luthier (it's a very expensive ukulele so they'd have to be very good which would involve some travelling on my part / expensive insured postage).
Any advice on what I should do would be much appreciated
Thank you UU!
PS. It doesn't bother me, I want to play it not baby it, but I don't want to not do something to safeguard it if I should.
