@rocknroller912 the glue in the fret slots isn't to hold the fret in (or at least it shouldn't be), it's to solidify and stiffen the fretboard.

@tej Everybody has different methods. I don’t glue frets in unless it’s an acoustic re fret over the sound box where I can’t press or hammer, although I should say I’m changing some of my methods afte...

@rocknroller912 frets, not ferrets. Edit function!?!?!?

I don’t use superglue for inlays or anything else if I can avoid it. @rocknroller912 so the way the lesson shows putting frets in seemed to involve dropping superglue down until the gap is filled, su...

@tej Here is the the kind of thing you need to cut inlays. I got mine from Cookson Gold by post. Attachment : FCF1E244-C746-42F6-B67D-54B201335FAB.jpeg Attachment : B57E35F6-A930-41D8-B41...

@boo When I learned bow making we had to cut our own dots from flat sheet. You could try google for model shops, there’s loads. They have all sorts of plastic sheet and some do custom work. Circle pun...

@tej I don’t use superglue for inlays or anything else if I can avoid it. Always stick my fingers together and there are so many different varieties, so if your not in a hurry use ordinary white glue ...

It's a boo guitar, I think you need to sneak a little shimmer in there! @jonhodgson Fair enough. 🤣

Hmmm, now there's a thought.. some metal flake in the bottom of the hole, then gluboost tinted yellow. @jonhodgson Well, I’ve got this epoxy resin and a load of pigments which have a shimmer to them....

aren't they a bit subtle for you? they don't glitter! @jonhodgson 🤣✨✨✨ It’s not for me so I have to go with what my customer wants.

Hmmm, now there's a thought.. some metal flake in the bottom of the hole, then gluboost tinted yellow. Bit expensive for a one off though.

@boo aren't they a bit subtle for you? they don't glitter!

@jonhodgson Yeah I think I’ll email him, see what he can suggest, thanks. I need something to match this yellow on the pickup, something quite vivid. Attachment : FB99FC16-34BB-44E2-8DFB-B75242B...

@booMaybe the gentleman at Small Wonder Music that Mark talks about in the video could supply some in Honey Jasper? That looks pretty yellow on the website.

Does anyone know where I can get bright yellow (not gold mop) inlay dots please? It could be plastic or any other suitable material really.

@rocknroller912 I’ve seen the super glue accelerator used by various people along with liberal use of superglue for inlays and frets. I’m presuming the accelerator evaporates and leaves nothing on the...

@rocknroller912 thank you, so much to learn!

@tej Here is the video

@tej Marquetry is different to fretboard inlays, it’s contrasting pieces of cross grained wood traditionally fixed in with hot hide glue. Tracing paper can be used for both to draw the shape, so for ...
