I got my Mandolin #3 done today, rubbed out the lacquer and strung her up. All went well except, I dropped the bridge and it hit right on the edge of the treble F hole and made a tiny chip on the lacquer, other than that it looks great.
Question: How do I fix this? Dap in a little lacquer until it is full then re-sand the area and re-rub out the lacquer patch? Please let me know,I will probably leave it alone for a while until I get the mandolin a bit more broke in. Our is it better to fix it right away??
Anyway I will post some photos in a couple days, I left my camera at work. I played her for about 2 hours tonight and it sound pretty good for being a newborn! Overall I am very happy with it, I just wish I did'nt have that one little chip in it, the chip is about 1/32 or less right on the edge of the F hole. Thanks for any help and I will post pics soon!
