NGD - binding repair advice sought

I like how the colour of the guitar compliments your bed sheets ;)

Progress update...

I tried bicarbonate of soda and superglue, but it hardened almost immediately, so no time to mould it into shape to fill the dent.  I almost stuck my fingers together without realising I had glue on them too, so I'm staying clear of this stuff.

Acetone and a plectrum melted down has however worked a treat, just leaving it to harden fully overnight, then filing it down.

the idea with very fine powder and super glue (ca) is that you fill the gap with powder then apply glue .  because superglue wicks so well it soaks straight through all the powder and instantly hardens.  it can get messy but generally works if you can control the flow of glue

the epoxy method i suggested does work differently and you do have to mix it all first, it makes a thick paste which will stay where you put it and file down to shape easily... similar to the fix with the melted plectrum

I went with the melted plectrum method in the end, not invisible, but it does the job and cost me 99p buying the acetone in home bargains  :D

Repair actually looks quite good  8)

yeah, that is a fine functional repair

Cheers guys, I'm quite happy with the way it turned out.  Like I said, just wanted it to be a functional repair and not too concerned about colour matching.  With some binding that matches the colour I could've melted it down and got a better match, but its not that far off to be fair.
