Quick question on installing frets after inlaying (mop). Will the fret barbs crack the shell inlay when installing the frets? If so, are the shell inlays clearances from the fret slot first, how?
Thanks
One solution if you are worrying about chipping/cracking your inlay would be to file off the fret tang barbs. Very easy with a dremel tool and grinding wheel. They should more or less drop in the slot. Then just glue in your frets.
