Spent one week preparing for and then a week at a junior age summer Bible Camp. Life-changing stuff both for the 9 through 11 year olds and for me.
But I have managed to finally get some frets into this fretboard. Now I'm to the point where I need to clean it up and ensure that the frets will stay in place.
From what I read one can dab a little CA glue at the ends and then put pressure down to press these in tight against the Binding strips. You can see from the picture that some of these are up. It's possible that they're up because I took too much material off of the underneath side. I probably will be able to fine tune that in the future but for now I simply want to try to get them glued down. Robbie O'Brien in building guitars, uses a caul to put pressure on the outsides ends. He's using radiused calls because he's working with radius fretboards. I opted to do this one flat for my first.
How do you do it? And once again, thank you so much!
