@tej you could try the pound shops or B&M think they sell it. £7 a roll in my local diy shop.

@boo have you found anywhere that sells frog tape at a good price, I’m nearly out but it seems to have gotten a lot more expensive of late?

I’ve been away for a couple of days but got back today and sanded this back, again. It’s ready for some more primer paint, again. Maybe tomorrow. 😉 Attachment : 964CD3BB-AD52-443A-B5B0-7B4...

@tej People don’t say that to me very often

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Ive made a very rough sketch of how I would estimate the finished taper in wood. @rocknroller912 Thanks for that, makes perfect sense 🙂

@tej 40mm is fine it’s actually easier with a small plane

@rocknroller912 I’ll give that a go and see how I get on. I’ll likely need a cabinet scraper to finish it as I don’t have anything to do that with and my plane is only about 40mm wide.

@tej Ive made a very rough sketch of how I would estimate the finished taper in wood. Hope you can understand it. Lay a ruler as shown from the tape to the front of heel and put your wood shim along s...

@tej Ive made lots of shims by hand, it’s not that hard. Start with a piece that’s longer and thicker than you need and clamp it to the bench. Then plane or scrape it working away from the clamp to cr...

@rocknroller912 I think what I’ll do is like you said, use some masking tape to get an idea of the angle I need.Not sure of the best approach to making the shims, the table saw would give accurate res...

Posted by: @robin I hadn't thought about the screw holes being out of alignment, we so lucky to have helpful people in this group. @robin I’d have considered that, admittedly just after I’d put the ...

@tej Even with the fretboard overhang and pick guard covering thing I would still try and fill any gaps in the joint, or the string tension will be pulling on the screws only which will probably cause...

@tej I was going to suggest removing some wood from the back of the heel to get the angle that you want, but I see you've considered that already. It would drop the neck deeper into the pocket though...
