Then immediately hit it with accelerated and keep it wet for a minute or so so it doesn't gas off to fast and turn white. Let set and get hard. If it doesn't fill completely do it again and then treat like Jon was suggesting. Finally a drop or two of lacquer. Light sanding adn rubbing with 4 steel wool. Not perfect but a clear repair. The lac. technique tend to keep shrinking over time and the divot reappears.</font></div>

<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><tt>Jon,
Many nicks (dents) in the finish. It was lent temporarily to a music
school in the area and came back having been abused. The finish wasn't all
that great to start with as it had been placed in an area shopping mall
previously with similar damage before the music school. Mostly dents, dings
and scratches. Few through the finish but marring it nonetheless.
Best,
Greg

What is the repair; a scratch, nick or gouge?
