Steve, I wonder if first sealing the bare wood with shellac before applying the CA glue might prevent the discolouration of CA glue on bare wood. |

When i originally did this repair, i actually thought it had not broken into the wood, i was wrong, the superglue stained and exasperated the "bruised" wood. Steve

If you want to try drop filling you should try using gluboost products. Excellent results. They have YouTube videos. Practice on scrap wood several times first.

Scrape flat with a razor blade.

Seems to be a lot of talk of filling bruised wood. Did I miss that? How deep is this scratch? Can we get a picture? Would help advise. I've had good luck steaming out dents on the front of a guitar, but if it's not all the way through the finish I'd be leaving it alone

Also wondering, if I fill the small dent with super glue, is that going to be an issue with the wood expanding and contracting with humidity changes?

use gluboost flexible CA and accelerator
Warning : it is a specific technique to finish it and unless you are good at it you will make it significantly worse. Thats the way ALL finishing jobs are.

My Guild D-30 was pristine for years, the my 4 year old niece fell on it while bouncing around, knocked it off the stand and put to very large dent scratches in the top. She is now a senior in college. I look at those dents now and it makes me smile.
