LabRats advice was good. I opened the camera to see how the liquid tape set and had stuck to it's self, so on to round two and this time instead of folding the camera I put it in a bag to protect from dust and set it on a table in a spare room for a couple of weeks.
But I noticed the bottom leg of the front standard was looking a little rough, like the finish had cracked so it will need attention.
Any ideas?
Should I use a filler then sand it smooth, or sand the finish off and then use a filler, if needed?
Since there is a glued finger joint in the area I don't want to use a solvent as that might attack the glue.
I suspect it is the gloss finish that is badly cracked, and not the cherry underneath(fingers crossed)
And what is the best way to match the original---dark mahogany gloss finish? This is a small section, about the size of a quarter on the upright, just above the brass focusing knob
