I want to conceal my mistakes and avoid reality. BUT reality is I make mistakes. Now I realize that’s how you learn. So, I made a boo boo. When I delivered this guitar I could just see the beginning of a faint, white halo forming around the tuners. The lacquer wasn’t all the way dry/cured and I squished it. Months later the customer emailed me with photos and asked for a repair. A repair is what he deserves but I was scared to attempt it and ashamed. Ugggh. So after mulling through the options I opted to strip the lacquer instead of sand it off. I filled a tall container with lacquer thinner and dipped that thing like a Caramel apple. I used a soft brush and in minutes it was completely gone. I’m going to apply a thin coat of lacquer, reapply the decal, spray more. Then WAIT a bit longer 🤣 Then he’ll get his guitar back. Thanks for listening and learn from my mistake. 😀 #wood #woodworking #fixit #imakemistakes #dammit #workslow #getzen https://www.instagram.com/p/CLkUA2pg3cR/?igshid=g7p71nsi7nr
