Help! How to repair gouge in finish
I recently put a nice (aweful) gouge in my Taylor 714CE, Cedar top. It's behind the saddle and about 1/4" X 1/2" and is down to the bare wood. A luthier in my area wants $80 and will not guarantee anything. So...
Does anyone know how I might be able to fill this gouge myself to protect the wood? I realize no matter what I do it won't look great but I want to do a good a job as possible. And with what? Lacquer, polyurethane, acrylic? Factory finish is a polyester UV, and you obviously can't do that yourself. What do you all think? Thanks.
