Repairing A Chip

[rickenbrother]

Should I keep using the mixed polish instead of topping it with clear?

Send it to me, and I'll FIX it for you!

I think more patient observation and circumspect plan of attack involving much more hemming and hawing and cross-referencing is necessary if we are to avoid a tragedy here. Joey, you're going at this much too fast. Send me the bass and in three months I'll let you know what the next step is.

My, my...so many offers of exploitation help!

Yes, Joey, keep up with the color. You won't need clear polish, as all nail lacquers and varnishes are based upon clearcoats. Using clear on a cratered finish will flatten eventually, but leave a shadow in strong light.

Well, it IS the Season of Peace on Earth & Goodwill towards men!

It will give Joey peace, and a little goodwill towards ME!

Paul, thanks for the help!

Tony and Kira, if I can figure out how to send just the chip to you guys, you could keep the chip until it's fixed!!

[johnallg]

Looks like you are putting the vaca time to good use, Joey. Post a pic when you get it all filled and leveled off. Interested.

Uncle! Uncle! Enough snow already!!!!

One word for you John.............FLORIDA...............FLORIDA.....................FLORIDA.

COME TO S.E.R.F.

Here it is with the chip filled and I'm waiting for it to dry. The color match still looks better in person than this picture shows.
I'll let it dry well and harden. It might a few days before I try to sand it down. Might even have to add more polish if it shrinks alot when drying.

[ajish4]

damn Joey,

LOOKS GREAT from here!

[kiramdear]

It will take a couple of days to shrink down completely. Keep an eye on it and top off as needed. Don't sand it for a few days though. You're doing a great job! I'm doing this with my jetglo 320 and goth nail polish and it looks great so far. Beats the heck out of a refin. When I finish it off I'll post a pic.

Be sure to ship it off to me when you're done for a final inspection.

Outstanding Joey, I'm sorry you had to fix my F-up . It's probably the best sounding Ric I have owned.

[rickenbrother]

Thanks T and Kira. Why don't yous guys come HERE and help!

I have two more basses to do this to, but one is JG and the other is MG, so those will be much easier.

Sam, unfortunately these types of things happen when you play your guitars. However, I'd like her to look as good as she sounds. It will look much better soon!
