Dents in a forearm

[Bugz]

I was cleaning the Wife's Viking and felt a couple of dents in the forearm. They are about 1" to 1 1/2" down from the joint.

Any tips on how to get those out?


I tried to search for tips, but "dent" and "forearm" bring up way to many threads.

Can't "get them out", you'll have to have it sanded & a clearcoat sprayed over it to fill in the dent...JER

Try using my band-aid method. Make a small patch out of a small piece of paper towel - put on a piece of masking tape and apply it to the dented area. Apply a little water and wait 24 hours. That usually takes care of the dent but you might have to do it more than once if it is a big dent.

If you don't have the right kind of masking tape and you are afraid of removing the finish when you remove the tape you can tie it in place with a strip of cloth.

Good Cuemaking,

If it is not bothering her play, don't mess with it. Refinish a cue only when it absolutely needs it.

Arnot, will your method work, through the clearcoat finish?...JER

I'll try that

I took over 50 dings out of a cue that way and they were deep. When I was done in a few days the cue was smooth and did not have to be refinished. You just have to go back and re-wet the patches. It takes more time through clearcoat.

Clearcoat does not permanently seal a cue it merely slows down the absorbtion and disapation of moisture.

This is interesting, I wonder if you would share the kind of conditions you performed the repairs in. Do you keep the area a controlled temp and humidity? I'm just curious as to whether this is the absorption of moisture, or if it is possible this is a "sweating" repair (Like the outside of a cold glass of sweet tea in the summer, only on the inside in this case.) Thanks!

I don't know it just works fine.

Hey Bugz, did it work for you on the viking? I've got a Viking with some dents as well.
