How to do a drop fill with super glue on guitar or bass neck. Easy way to fix dings and marks.

- Here I'm doing a drop fill using super glue. Then scraping and sanding it smooth. Note that you can do this with fewer grits of sandpaper than I describe. Might be able to get away with 600, 800, 1000, 2000, for instance, especially if you buff it with compound at the end.
Ideally, you take it through many grits but don't overdo the sanding. You don't want to break through the clear coat. You're just trying to smooth and blend until the part you repaired feels smooth to the touch.

Any repair experience with, or advice on; with a skunk stripe where the stripe is slightly sunk and slightly raised in sections of the neck?
Fender Stratocaster neck. Fix/repair said anomalies in the skunk stripe?
@@davidsutherland2873 HI, if you're talking about a skunk stripe that is sticking up at one end, which often happens, I don't know of an easy repair. I have in the past done some light sanding just on the end of a skunk stripe if it is just poking out a bit there. that can minimize it, but I don't know if there's a real fix. you'd need to pull the neck apart, which I generally try to avoid. cheers
I appreciate all You Tubers who go to the effort of helping others BUT, How to get a concept wrong. The idea of the tape at each end of the blade is to rest this on the undamaged part of the surface, and use the open blade to gradually remove the superglue. The tape lifts the blade a few thou, so that when the superglue is scraped down, it never quite reaches the varnished surface. That way you don't risk damaging the surrounding good surface with an exposed blade. In this example, if the blade had been kept parallel to the length of the neck, a safe scrape down would have been achieved.
thanks for the reply. I think I understand the reason for the tape on either end. My final result came out right, but sorry if my technique did not make you happy!
I think the end result looks worse than the start
Feels smooth now. Looks better. cheers
It's not about the look, it's about the feel. Who cares how the back of a guitar neck looks? Also, as you play the guitar the finish looks shiny again
