The binding channel was deliberately cut slightly shallow and narrow to allow it to stand proud allowing me to smooth the binding level to top and side.
I started by sanding the majority on the sides away with 320 sandpaper and then used a brand new Stanley / utility knife blade. There was a couple of places where there were gaps so I melted some leftover binding with some nail polish remover and dabbed it into the gaps, once it dried I sanded off the excess.
I also noticed quiet a gap around the edge of the back cover so applied a little filler to build up the missing material. I will sand this smooth once it sets and add a little more filler if required.
I need to start thinking about building the neck as I'm running out of jobs to do on the body. I don't have any primer so I can't really painting yet.
