nitro burn thru

Hey everyone, I have a question. I have an 04 lp studio faded inWB and a long time ago it sat on a stand that ate thru the nitro in one spot on the edge of the guitar. If I added a little brush on satin nitro to the spot will it blend ok with the surrounding nitro. I just want to protect the wood and any further deterioration of the surrounding finish. Also any tips and advice are greatly appreciated.

Yes.

 

After, sand with extra fine paper to level out the brush over and then polish/buff with something like Virtuoso or fine rubbing compound (white).

 

You might want to check with a shop/luthier for an estimate as this spot repair shouldn't be very costly.

 

As you might have already gathered, make sure your stands are nitro safe. As an extra precaution I use unbleached cotton cloths to protect the contact points.
