<p>Chad Gerbe...sorry, it wouldn't post a direct response to your question for me:</p>
<p></p>
<p>For Taylor, scrap level with a razor, use 1800 - 3200 micro mesh (wet sanded) then Mohawk Perfect Blend Satin 35-40 Sheen.</p>
<p>The Mohawk Perfect Blend is an exceptional product...</p>
<p></p>
<p>Best wishes,</p>

<p>It'd be interesting to see what eventually happened. The OP posted back in 2011, so plenty of time for the crack to reappear if, in fact, it did. </p>
<p>It wasn't mentioned, but the crack may have been cleated well from the backside. </p>

<p>Any word on how this turned out? I've got the same problem on a Taylor that's on my bench right now, ovangkol back and everything! Looking forward to any responses.</p>

I've had good luck with usiing wet sanding of the gloss, use 6000 - 12000, usually 8000 produces a good match. You have to decide which grit makes the best match.

I have run into this problem with guitars before. Especially taylors with ovangkol back and sides. I have in the past over sprayed some satin poly urethane by min wax. But lately I have been filling the cracks with epoxy and using a squeegee to level it off and some alcohol to clean off the excess(not on nitro though). This way I can eliminate the leveling and not worry about matching the patina.

<p>Harbor Freight has an "air eraser" in the air tools section, same location as the airbrushes. It's about $20, IIRC, much cheaper than the usual Paasche or other higher end version. Cheap enough to experiment with. Probably not as good as the pricier version (I have no way to compare), but very adequate. Also, a trick used by model builders to clean parts for painting they don't want worn away by grit is to use baking soda as a medium--much less abrasive. YMMV, try on a scrap first,…</p>
