So how does one go about using super glue for the frets after applying binding to the neck?

@rathius you have to dribble it into the slot before banging the fret in, you can use wood glue like titebond original too, cleans up with a damp cloth. The glue doesn't so much hold the fret in as fill the void below the fret.

Sorry, forgot to mention the frets were already in. 😂

I did see a video on StewMac’s YouTube channel about refretting a bound neck. I’ve tried the guy’s method on two frets and I’m going to see how it cleans up. I may end up having to get a syringe to use for applying the glue. May need some thinner than water CA 😁
