Hey David, Depending upon the size, it may still not be a problem. One of the techniques for doty is to leave a small amount of the lacquer out to begin curing - how long depends upon how much. The goal is to have a small batch of lacquer that is the consistency of thick honey. Then you can dot that lacquer onto the repair area - not TOO much at a time, though, it will still sag a little. It's really a pretty easy fix in many ways. William R.
