After I applied my first coat of finish (Spar Urethane) to my gun case a crack appeared in the maple banding. I didn't notice this crack when I was assembling or sanding the top of the gun case. I don't know if the crack was already there in the piece of maple or if it happened during glue up or what. However, after the finish was applied the crack became QUITE noticable. It appears that I will not be able to sand the crack out. Somehow I need to fill this crack to make it less noticable. How would any of you deal with this crack? See my attached crude sketch for a little better explaination. Thanks.
PS- I should be ready to post a picture by the start of next week. Thanks for all of your help.
