deeboy Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 I am in the process of refinishing a guitar. I stripped the old paint off and I am down to a poly sealer. I filled most of the surface dings with liquid epoxy but I am having problems filling dings that are on the edges/corners between the front and side of the guitar. Should I try a putty type epoxy so I am able to mold an edge better? If so...any recommendations as to what brand? I plan on painting the guitar a solid color. Quote

Fill with epoxy and cover with tape so it doesn't run out. When hardened, sand down. Done. Quote
scab Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 try bondo.. I've heard that bondo does wonders w/ refinishing guitars as opposed to epoxy, b/c epoxy when it is drying it tends to settle and run.. bondo will take care of that. you can find it at any automotive parts store Quote

Never had a problem with it. Then again...anybody have any wooden cars I ended up using liquid epoxy for surface dings and Quickwood for dents on the edges. Let's see how it holds us to reranch spray cans. Quote
