Re: White Spots on Spruce Top
You all gave me lots of good advice and it's much appreciated. You were all very positive and that was too cool. Here's why, on another forum the advice was: There's another forum where people do a lot of this..... maybe you can find a kindred soul or two there. we deduce that you need to take a few...

Re: Pineapple ukulele
Don't have the slightest clue why, I really like that body shape. It's very cool looking. Never knew it was called "Pineapple". The wood is gorgeous. Cedro is a type of Cedar (duh on me). My 12 String is Cherry and Cedar and I love it. That is one very cool looking Uke. How's it sound?

Re: White Spots on Spruce Top
Hi Peter,
I took your advice, dry sanded and cleaned with Naphtha. Am going to take it to the store and see if I can sorta match the color of stain. I like your idea about the "age" spots. Heck, this guitar is almost as old as some of my socks.
Thanks so much!

Thanks David, going to see what happens on a small piece of top.David King wrote:I'd hit them with some thin CA and see what you get. It won't get any worse. Cheap CA tends to yellow which you don't want so try an upper shelf variety like BSI, loctite, Satellite City.
Thanks!

Thanks!

Re: White Spots on Spruce Top
Hi Bob, Thanks for your reply. This is mostly parts. Not in very good shape either. I'm rebuilding these parts into a travel guitar. The neck is still attached to the top and is in very good shape. There were some very deep dings in the lacquer, scratches and even a gouge so I wet sanded with 800, 1...

White Spots on Spruce Top
Hi, I'm rebuilding a 12 string. 1970's Westminster Made in Japan. Sanded the top, it's Laminate. Then I got these white spots. Any idea what they are or how to fix? Thanks! (New member and first post).
