I´m not an expert but I like to leave a little of spece between the MOP piece and the fretslot.
I have to use a press in order to install the frets, but I don´t know when the guitar will need a re-fret job and the worts who will make it.
If you leave the MOP pieces right to the fretslots whne the guy take out the frets could damage or take out the piece of MOP.
It is more dificult to make it in this way but I feel more confidence.
This is a bad picture of a inlay that I´m working right now:
Regards
