Nic in the Neck

[TechZilla]

I have discovered a small nic in the back of one of my maple necks. It's barely noticeable but bugs me none the less. Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with such a thing without a bunch of sanding, etc. It's more of a "ding" than a "gash". is there some sort of product that might be able to fill it without alot of disruption to the feel of the neck.

Any advice would be apreciated.

Thanks.

Bump.

Is filling a small ding like this just not possible without refinishing the neck?

Super glue will work, but it's a very tricky procedure.

My vote would be: leave it alone. It's a character mark.
It means the bass gets played.

I'm begining to agree with you. The superglue thing sounds a bit scarry even though i'm curious about the actual process.

I'm really just being a bit picky i'm sure it's not the last ding it's gonna get. It's my main axe and it does get played A LOT.

Thanks for the advise.

tplyons, i'vd love to hear more about the superglue thing. I am however prone to glueing my fingers together with that stuff.

If it is a dent, in other words if no wood is missing, you can apply damp heat with an iron and damp cloth.

The heat from the iron will heat the cloth and steam the dent causing it to raise. If you do it to much that it now protrudes, you will need to be prepared to sand it back down.
