Throughout my years working on guitars, I was aware of the possibility of this happening, had been warned about it, and had been well-taught on how to avoid this rookie mistake. However, I rushed and was impatient, not waiting long enough for the lacquer to dry, and I was out of mid-grit sandpaper. Yes, I know, I know, that was stupid. And yes, I know better. As a result, I’m now paying the price! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I can’t believe I sanded through the veneer. What now?
