Cozi101 Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Hi, I just taped off my frets with masking tape twice like shown in the Full fretboard Scallop Tutorial. I just noticed it could be a very long time till I get around to doing it (2 months+) and was wondering if the adhesive of the tape could do anything to ruin my frets? Or the wood on the side of each fret where the "V" parts of the tape are stuck too? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bytrix Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Usually it'll say on your masking tape how long it's safe to keep on. I think the stuff I use says 2 weeks.. after that it might actually stick, and when removed will leave some of the adhesive gunk on the frets. I'm considering trying that tutorial on an old strat-style guitar I've got. You could perhaps do a few frets at a time whenever you get the chance instead of taping up all the frets in one go.

Cozi101 Posted December 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Is there any alternative I can use to the Dremel Contour sander that will get me the same/close to results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Rasp, files and sanpaper! Ah! And a lot of work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bytrix Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 That's how I might end up doing it, don't mind a bit (or a lot) of hard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
