Patching a Poly Guitar Finish with Super Glue

- *edit: to the gentle souls concerned for the well-being of this instrument, this Indonesian PRS SE was beat to hell when I picked it up for $200 - no museum-quality works were harmed, and I'm not advocating you take superglue to your Private Stock McCarty. It still regularly shreds and lives a comfortable free-range life on a holistic organic farm in upstate Oregon.

Dont slice but scrape with the razor.
I've seen a pro fix dents on a guitar by applying a drop of water and later heat gun, to swell the damaged wood fibers back into its original form.
Scrape, scrape... don't slice it! That's one reason you pulled the glue out of the larger dent!
I think I would have applied a number of the base/body color touches to that big repair, allowing each to dry until the color match was closer... then applied the CA glue, and scraped the area instead of slicing it, the actual repair might have turned out less noticeable. Just my thoughts. Hey..you can always do it again if you are not happy..LOL! Thanks!
Good suggestions! There's a lot that could be done better than in this video, but hopefully seeing mistakes helps everyone know what to watch out for along the way.
I just have one question, how are you moving your hands so fast!?
Cool and nice playing and tone also
What effects/amp setup are used for the playing at the end? Great tone!
Thanks! I believe it was through a Boss Katana 50, with the treble rolled back and a healthy touch of reverb and delay :)
Or, there's plan B. I recently dinged one my mandolins. I bought some small vinyl static cling (no adhesive) window stickers of various insects, and stuck a ladybird over the ding. I added a bee to keep it company. Now I have a unique mandolin and no one suspects the ding is there. However, people do keep spraying me with fly-killer.
I've watched a number of these fix it vids, and I concur with you . . . Plan B is not so bad!
When applying each thin layer of glue for the bigger part, did you add more stain in between coats, or just the base coat?
Just the base coat of stain in the wood is all you need - adding stain on top of the clear coat would probably be detrimental and make it look "flat".
If you have any bigger holes to patch, I'd recommend epoxy over superglue as well just to be sure it's dry all the way through!
@@MattWinkler1 Yea I've never worked with epoxy and I'm fixing a glossy black so it should come out close enough if I'm patient
Nah, stick with the CA glue.. some Gluboost & accelerator & you'll be golden in no time!
@@matts5803 Use LocTite 480 CA glue...it comes in gloss black so no need to add anything else.
Thanks! Does this work both with Polyester and Polyurethane? I am not sure what MIM Tele or a new USA Pro II Strat would be then, it's difficult to find the exact specs even on Fender site.
I believe they're both polyurethane finishes - most new guitars are, except vintage and vintage-styled guitars that may be nitrocellulose lacquer finished. (Polyester is usually either a fabric or a resin, and isn't really used on guitars as far as I know!)
Super glue will still work for very small dings, but I'd recommend epoxy for anything larger. And I wouldn't recommend doing either at home on a USA Pro II Strat!
@@MattWinkler1 Good point. Yeah I read all over the place that is it actually polyester on some guitars, usually cheaper ones, but perhaps people mix it up. Most just say "poly".
Man I wish I could afford or find a prs in your opinion are the non USA models worth the mony the sky come now as a se model any one have a reply would be appreciated I do not have access to music stores or a prs guitar I ask alot of times others over the net..also watch these vedios on how to can't beat that ..Thank you...Roland J Gutierrez from Magdalena New Mexico USA 🇺🇸
Oh yeah PRS SEs are great! Personally I slightly prefer Charvel for just a little bit more money, and feel like Schecters are about on the same level for slightly less money, but it's tough to go wrong with any of 'em
The angle of the scrapping blade is too angled.
What was the white powder?
Coke
Not bad at all!
balls of steels
Nice try - its a bummer I have at least 10 of those larger dings in my bass - looking for ways to make them less visible - not much luck so far. Thats what you get for drinking too much while gigging
Vote up! Good work! Forget the naysayers, some people buy reliced guitars. Who really cares, as long as you’re happy
Easier solution epoxy with red color applied with a syringe.
Thick acrylic paint instead of thin dye would have been more effective hiding the wood... other than that, good job.
I can't think of a tougher topic to do a video on as far as audience reaction. Every one I've watched so far has been downvoted to hell🤣
Maybe the judgement would've been less harsh had I really emphasized that it was $200 and looked like it was thrown in a bag of rocks lol. If you have any big chunks, use epoxy resin instead, but for the little dings the superglue method still works rather well *shrugs*
Maybe fingernail polish would have worked better to fill in the larger hole, then super glue on top to polish?
Fingernail polish might work if applied in multiple thin layers, but I'd recommend epoxy resin for any really deep damage
@Matt Winkler yeah, i dont think youre rhe guy to be giving anyone advice after this video
Am I the only one who thinks that the coloring is not done exactly enough? Don't read anything about that. Rob
agreed...see my comments above.
The mark your attempting to repair is still there. Have you looked at or considered using the product made by the company called GluBoost? Anyone that's on this RUclips and is considering a repair on a guitar or practically any wood surface should take a look at their products and repair videos. The repair you're looking at here would disappear using GluBoost.
^ THIS! 👍👍
don't forget the Accelerator, unless you've got a _lot_ of time to sit around & wait. 😉
You did nothing😐
why do I feel like I'm watching my old mother being fed in a hospice?
I'd say don't bother,
just change the strings, waste of time and effort
You might want to let the glue dry a week before smoothing it down.
He just needs some accelerator.. It would be fully dry in _minutes._ ;-)
