For any other first timers, don't use a hair dryer to take blue masking tape off the bridge area after finishing. I just blistered my lacquer. I don't know if I can scrape the area and re apply lacquer or not. I just got the top to where it was decent and now this. Clinton

hmm. You need a chemical amalgamation agent. Just can't remember it's name. It's nasty stuff that softens the lacquer, maybe enough to rebond. Dave Bland, maybe Tim McNight, and a few others have used it.

Behlen's makes a product called QualaRestore that is basically the same stuff. Woodcraft and others carry it.

Thanks guys! I had no prior knowledge of this stuff. Isn't this place great? Serge, I was hoping to post pix of the guitar with lacquer today. I'll post pics when I'm finished messing up. Clinton
