There's a hole in my shoulder: cosmetic options

I encourage the conservative, no-more-damage path: Take the guitar to a luthier and pay for the repair; it will likely be done with the least invasion of the rest of the guitar.

Under no circumstances should anyone start 'fixing' that hole without thoroughly masking off the surrounding area so as to not make things worse, which is very easy to do, and if CA is involved, all but certain.

At this point in my life this is typically how I lean. It is good to have someone experienced to a job.

However I do have a little bit of experience with adhesives. I've re-foamed maybe 100 speaker drivers and done some tweeter repair. I realize that's not the same as woodworking but I would at least like to understand what goes into this repair.

CA has that sort of effect on anything it's near. Stuff's got no surface tension, goes everywhere, under everything. And makes a (literally!) cast-iron mess along the way.
