>>Also small imperfections are quickly and easily filled with ca glue. Any body flippin out yet? Yes CA. Fill the dent with Ca & spray on the hardner but keep it wet for a feww seconds so nothing turns white. Let it sit up an hour & Then block sand it flat & shoot lacquer over it. It will be inviisble. It doesn''t shrink either. If the dent is on a vertical surface, spray a little accelerator on the sticky side of a piece of masking tape, apply thick CA to the dent and immediately cover with the tape.

Since it's black it absolutely doesn't matter what's under the black as long as it fills & is flat. Bondo doesn't shrink either. Cool aye? On the corners with busted edges or dents we use wood glued on with Ca glue. We call this football. It's a slick trick MIke Bingham shared this with me. post him about it. The brass inlay name decal means it's German. You can spray black over the entire fall board once its' prepped...as a base black coat. Sand it flat with 400-600 wet & until the brass shows thru the black. Then finish the rest of the top coats in clear gloss lacquer. & then rub out as per usual. Make Sense?
