I've been working on my 3rd guitar, and unfortuantely the binding came out less than perfect. I had some gaps that I had to fill, and quite honestly it now looks pretty bad (around some areas, the rest look great).
As you can notice from the picture, this white binding goop hides the black line (scraping it won't help anymore), and I was wondering if you have any ideas about how to "recreate" this fine black line. I was thinking about several ideas - even drawing it with somekind of a pen (but I believe it would melt under lacquer).
In any way - and kind of help would be appreciated. It doesn't have to solve it 100% - just make it look somewhat decent (of course, the less noticable and close to perfect the better).
