These are 2 essentials when it comes to basic guitar maintenance, well, as far as my practices are concerned...
- IKEA's Skydd wood mineral oil: Beez & I are currently using this fluid to treat open-pore wood eg: rosewood. The fact that it's a safe fluid to be having at home is a plus, especially so when I have a daughter here who always handles my equipment.
- Elmer's Wood Filler: If you screw-unscrew cavity covers, pickguards, truss rod covers, etc. repeatedly, the screw thread might wear out the cavity grooves & ill fitting (loose) will entail. The convenient remedy would be to insert some matchstick bits in there but upon unscrewing, the loose bits will not get undone & the screw remains in the cavity despite you turning it repeatedly. I'd apply the filler sparingly, it's not my intention to plug the hole entirely, just line it against the cavity wall & let it dry, preferably overnight.

what's the difference between the skydd and beemis wood conditioner? and is the wood filler in a paste like form?
difference by name he he... also, i find the Skydd lasts longer BUT it's not as quick drying. overnight drying recommended :-)
yup, wood filler is a paste, squeeze into cavities type :-)
Hi mr sub,
may i know where i can procure a tube of the wood filler?
thanks!
you can check out the hadware sohps @ shopping centres eg: HOME Fix/ Selfix :-)
art friend also sells assorted products from Elmer's. can also try neighbourhood hardware shops and maybe stationary shops.
definitely- i bet the neighbourhood shops do sell them for a little cheaper :-)
