Hey All,
My R9 had an unfortunate run in with a guitar stand. I don't make a habit of keeping it on the stand for this reason but work sent me out of town for about a month and it just slipped my mind to put it back in the case before I left.
I expected the stand to leave more of stain (which I'd live with) but it appears that instead, the rubber just caused the nitro to soften and "melt". Definitely a hard lesson to learn but I'm hoping for some advice on how to proceed. I'm fairly competent with painting and things like that but I've never used nitro so my questions are...
Short Term: What can I do to just smooth it back down so its not all built up in one sticky spot? Can i just take a buffer to it and try to knock it down? Or is wet sanding the way I need to go?
Long Term: Is there any chance anyone has any links to resources or anything that could give more information on spot refining or blending in new nitro to avoid having to deal with the whole neck?
Thanks in advance everyone!!!!
