A little trick to handle small laqcuer chips
Evrybody knows it. Guitar dropped and ….chips. Often it can be fixed easily but very often you need the color. In my case it was a Jackson with a metallic red. I had all the chips but how to handle. Tweezer were no option. The chips flipped away.
I used a small sewing needle. I’ve flattened the tip using some sandpaper on the workbench. Then I put a drop of thin superglue on a piece of paper, dipped the needle right in an pushed it on the lacquer chip.
Now I had a handle. I could easily find out the right position for the chip, dipped in the drop of superglue, brought it to place, hold it for some minutes and could the easily remove the needle.
Rest was standard. Scraping, sanding etc.
