Hey, need some help before I ruin my fretboard lol
My stew mac 12" radius block seems to be f**king up my sanding, I'm not sure why, but I think its because its dirty (spray on adhesive + ebony dust = a lot of manky crap on the surface) and when I use it to radius, small holes seem to ware through the sand paper, but only at the ends of the block not in the middle...
What ever it is, its putting marks on my inlays in my fret board, like red inlay and then some ones pulling something sharp like small stone over it when I'm trying to sand. The marks buff out if I just use the sand paper in my hand, but not with the block, and its really anoying because its screwing up my inlays and I dont want to permantly mark my fretboard beyond repair.
So how can I clean the block? Is this the problem?
Is the sand paper clogging and thats the problem?
at what grit is it safe to sand by hand with out a radius block and not have to worry about putting the radius out of shape?
I think sanding by hand is probably the best solution, but I dont want to ruin the shape of the fretboard.
Cheers
