J_48_Johnson Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 I am in the way early stages of planning my next build and was wondering if the ebony dye goes on the fret board before or after the abalone inlays go in. Are thier pros and cons doing it each way? Is one way better than another? The reason I'm asking this is because it sounds to me like the almost black ebony is all but gone and I may have to use a lower quality that may have different colors in it. I'm okay with that, but when I do the inlay work and use black epoxy to set them in, I think I may wind up using the dye to blend the black epoxy to the fret board if it isn't black. Please advise, Brad in Akron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 After. You can't stain pearl with fretboard ebonizers. It'll wipe right off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
