Hello all, I'm I'm working on a maple neck with a maple fretboard (bolt on). I'm at the point where I'm struggling on what order to do things, My fret slots are the right depth and my side dots are in. My plan is to use Osmo oil to finish on both the neck and fretboard.

So my thought was should I finish sand the entire neck so I can put the oil on the whole thing all at once? Can I just oil the fretboard and then oil the back of the neck later? Probably not huh?

If I oil the fretboard before putting the frets in, won't the oil clog the slots? Or will I have to re-clear the slots after oiling?

Or would it be better to just put the frets in now, and oil over them and clean off the oil when crowning?
