Spot-repair is kinda tricky but can be done. OTOH, it is an easy matter to scuff-sand level an entire back (or top/sides) and re-coat with the TO. Taping off bindings etc would still have to be done if you want to protect them.

You can also use a 50/50 TO and min spirit mix for a couple of thin coats.

edit: for those that use TO, here's the best price I've run across - 32oz for $20.
