Members mrducks Posted November 25, 2017 Members Share Posted November 25, 2017 Just posted on high humidity, and how I dried it before repair. Sounds strange, but I put it in direct sunlight, the bulge flattened to normal in a few hours. Safer than other methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Etienne Rambert Posted November 26, 2017 Members Share Posted November 26, 2017 Noob resurrects two zombie threads within ten minutes of each other. I'm on it. 1. Wet guitars are usually not wet all over. This leads to problems in drying them out. 2. To make sure the wetness is uniform throughout the instrument, fill a bath tub w/water (room temp.) 3. Carefully remove the tuners and other metal parts from the guitar. 4. Carefully remove any electronics. 5. Slowly, dunk the guitar into the bath-tub. Hold it down for 2 minutes. 6. Now you have a wet guitar that should be uniformly wet. 7. Take the wet guitar outside. 8. Suspend it from a clothes line. 9. Leave it until daylight starts to fade. 10. Bring it inside. Test it for wetness. 11. If it is dry everywhere except inside the sound-hole, use a hair-dryer. 12. If it is still uniformly wet, keep it in a warm, dry spot & after sunrise, hang it up on the clothes line again. 13. REPEAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he a music critter critic, or did you do something to him he didn't like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
