    On the recommendation of Dave Staudte I use Mohawk M102-0720 (Matte 19-23 Sheen). It works really well for blending into the orignal finish.

  • Yeah, I’d get that end pin out of the way, repair as you normally would. It looks like, the tail block is loose. Get it all level. I would use some light coats of Poly as a base coat, light scuff, then use the Mohawk, it doesn’t build like you would think and takes several coats. You can blend the edges of the Mohawk with a felt block to get the crustiness off I would spray the whole area from top to back, like a 6″- 8″ stripe. Then you only have 2 edges to blend.
