Fill Any Gaps Around the Inlays |
  If
you performed all of your inlay work perfectly and everything fits
completely airtight, you can skip to the next step. But my guess is
that you will have a few indiscretions to deal with, especially if
this was your first inlay job. Don’t attempt to do this before the
rough sanding since the sanding might uncover some other
indiscretions. Just wait until now and deal with them all at the
same time.

  You
just sanded the crap out of the fretboard, so collect a few pinches
of sawdust and mix it with a drop of CA glue to make a thick paste.
Force some of this paste into any gaps around your inlays.
Immediately wipe any excess off with a paper towel in a diagonal
motion forcing more of the paste into the gap without pulling any
paste out. Don’t worry if you can’t get all the glue up since we’re
not done sanding yet. |
