Coytee Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Just got the K-horns home last night and a friend is due over today to help lug them in. Sat in trailer and of course, it rained all way home. Seems some moisture has wicked inside and created a damp spot about the size of a closed fist on the left edge of the bass bin about mid way up. He's due over anytime now to help carry them in...any suggestions I might do about the damp spot (concerned about it staining/other)?? Do I just let it air dry and oil? Since it's been oiled, do I not worry about it?? Do I pull out my 6" belt sander (ok, rest your heart, that was just a cruel joke) Seriously though, it's a fresh spot, anything I might do "now" to mitigate anything or am I making a mountain out of an ant hill?? Thanks for any responses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myhamish Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 oh no!! Try this on a scrap or hidden spot first. Really light passes from a hair dryer with low heat. If it works on the test spot, then try it on the wet area. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardhitter Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 I think the belt sander sounds like a great idea! Use 40 grit and paper and push hard using the rounded wheel end of the sander. Once the stain is gone, use Carburator cleaner and a torch to dry it out. Flake away any charing and aply a high grade finish to what remains.
