Re: [Guitar Luthiers Network] Martin close encounter with fork

I have steamed out dents on furniture projects, but haven't tried it on a
guitar. Sounds like something I'd be more likely to try on an unfinished
guitar. It could work, but I'd be a little frightened to introduce either too
much heat, or moisture to your instrument. Especially heat. Get the top too
hot and you could loosten braces inside. Probably the best resource for finish
repairs I can think of is Hedio Kammamoto (sp?). He wrote a couple of great
repair books that are sold by Stew Mac. Another good place to ask would be MIMF
(musical instrument makers forum) Good luck
