Broken Kerfing

Post by buddy225 »

When I was sanding the kerfing on the back, a few pieces broke. Should I cut these broken pieces out and glue in a small replacement piece or should I just not worry about it? Thanks, Pete

the only one I see that I might worry about is in the first picture, right beside the tail block. The others should be fine.

I don't think anything serious , If you have a piece and want to work it in it would be good practice for you.
