Default Touch up needed UV

My Taylor 810 has a small chip in the finish. Its the size of a pencil eraser. The wood is fine and its level but the UV clear coat needs repaired in that spot. Any help would be appreciated.

Superglue is actually the recommend medium of repair if UV paint is not available

Your location would be helpful if you are looking for someone in your area.

I do UV finishes with Taylor spec materials. I am currently moving my shop and will not be able to help you until late march but if the Dover DE area is convenient I would be happy to help you then

I'm in Central Arkansas. Thanks. We have an authorized Taylor repair shop but he recommended superglue. I tried it but my work looks no better. I think the glue i used may have just been too thick. I really like this guitar. I just wish there was a better fix.

Superglue works just fine, like everything there is a technique in doing it.

Your local Taylor authorised shop is may be authorised for the simple repairs, Taylor have various levels of authorisations, they also may be more than capable of doing any repair that you come across.
