Finish Repair for Small Blemish?
I made some small modifications to my Kenny Hill New World Player classical, converting the bridge to a 12-hole and adding a brass tube side fret marker.
In both places there areas now tiny areas of unfinished wood. What would be a good finish to apply and how would it be best applied?

If it is a lacquer finish you will want to use lacquer. If it is a poly finish you will need to use CA. Here is a link to ahow to for a lacquer drop fill, CA is pretty much the same just a different filler material.

It is best to test it for yourself. I usually pull a tuner and test the finish underneath it where it will be concealed. take a Q-tip and dip it in some acetone, dab it on the surface. Careful not to get too much, if it runs it can ruin the finish. If it mars the finish it is lacquer, if it doesn't it is poly.
