Dan Erlewine has out done himself with his new tip just released a few moments ago. It is on using baking soada, color tint and CA for repair colored fills. i have used CA and baking soda for years to repair nut slots. never thought of using color tints to make colored baking soda. |

Yes - but is the colured filler going to age and change colur the same way as the cedar top will. Now chameleon colouring and baking soda . . . |

probably not but we are talking repair here. most the time you would use this tip for body filling the guitar being repaired is aged. |

That is always the restorer's dilemma, what to do about the colors as the object ages. Unfortunately one must do the best one can to make any repair on a valuable object reversible. Thus the reason most oil paintings are first varnished, then retouched, then varnished again. Thus when it becomes important to remove the restoration, clearing off the varnish removes the repair too.
