icetrey Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 (edited) I accidently sanded through part of the wood. Would I need to fill it in with some type of putty to get rid of the low spot or what should I do?http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j231/icetrey_21/IMG_0488.jpg PIC TOO BIG!!!!!!!!

icetrey Posted April 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 If anybody knows, I'd really like to get done sanding this guitar but I don't wanna eat through more wood if I don't need to. To see the pic just copy and paste the website. Sry, it's too big. I don't know how to make them smaller. Thanx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlGeeEater Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 (edited) Looks to me like you sanded through the factory sealer coat. You didn't "eat" through wood. All those really light spots are actualy wood, and the other spots (minus the black) are sealed with the sealer (basically clear coat). You can do one of two things, drop fill those area with high solids clear/bondo, or strip the whole body down to barewood and seal it from there. Personally, i'd just drop fill the spots, they're only on the horns. Be more careful when you're stripping! And FWIW, unless you're doing a natural finish, there's not reason to strip off the factory paint, it's perfectly fine to accept new paint as long as you scuff sand it with 220 grit.
