I am also about to start fretting a board ... my first build ... a fret virgin ..lol.
TWO QUESTION:
1. Some people above have mentioned CA glue. I'm not familiar with this. What is CA?
2. I too had trouble with practise frets popping up at the ends, should I use YELLOW CARPENTERS' glue (this is all I have). I too will be using a press and possibly a clamp.
Thanks,
J
Jeff,
CA = super glue.
And as far as the second part, I found I wasn't radiusing near enough to keep the sides in, with those 3 frets (all my whopping amount of experience doing it correctly) I put the fret on the unslotted portion of the fretboard to make sure the sides were at a downward arch and left the middle with a gap from the fretboard radius just ever so slightly. It worked for me! Here are some pics of how it turned out with natural light on the guitar.
However, I am probably not the best person to talk about fretwork with lol.
