Damaged Featherweight Case repair?
My Featherweight case's side was damaged in shipping. I will be able to wood glue it and clamp and it will be fine.
Due to previous wear damage there are some bare spots of wood scattered about. I would like to recover the case, but am unsure as to the removal of the previous factory covering. How should I go about it. Do I dampen it and peel if off? I have looked at some of the restored cases done by members here and I'm very impressed with what they have done. But I don't recall if they removed the type of paper-like cover that is on the FW case.
I don't want it to looks like I went at it with a hatchet.
Thanks for any info...
