| Post subject: | Yamaha resin / composite material body, crack repair |
Hi everyone! I like your forum and I read it constantly but this is my first attempt to post something. I apologize for my english but it's not my mother tongue. Now that's the topic: I am restoring an old (1995 or 2005) Yamaha apxt1n and I'm searching for some suggestions, maybe some of You can help me in my mission. There is a crack on the body starting from the strap knob on the bottom of the body. It does not affect the playability or the overall state but I want to repair it avoiding future problems and, first of all, unnoticeable. I have some questions for You: 1) Does anyone know which kind of material the body is made of? (Inside is wood, outside it seems some kind of resin/composite) 2) Can someone please advise me how can it could be repaired? (Maybe some kind of filler / compound resin) 3) Can someone give me some tips on how to proceed? Thank you so much for your support and patience, I think this could be a good repair topic for anyone searching for the internet.

That looks more like a scratch than a crack to me. Your biggest problem will be to match the colour of the original. Bob |

I would wick some black cyanoacrylate glue in the crack and call it good. |
