'Fret Job' - Stage 10..... Polishing the Frets
Using a Buffing wheel and Liquid
polishing cream to 'Buff' up the
Frets.
The masking tape protects the guitar from any damage.
WARNING
Please Note : - If the
fingerboard inlays are made of a soft pearloid or plastic, they may melt or
'pull', so in this case it is best to be more cautious and either tape them over
so the buffer doesn't have direct contact or safer still, polish the frets by
hand. Better safe than sorry
!
Nice shiny Frets
- which have been leveled, beveled, re-profiled, buffed & polished.
Easier said than done though..... It takes quite a bit of
practice to get it
right.
Now it's time to start cleaning up.
