I saw some youtube's 'bout polishing frets with a dremel and polishing compound. It all looked good, so I also took my dremel and went for it. But ..... My question here is: if I have to keep polishing for reason that my frets stay filty, almost black, what did I do wrong? Too much compound? (not according to youtube! Only by going over the frets with a fibercloth, after the dremel-polishing, they become shiny. Someone?

I read somewhere that you don't sand (level) under 0,65 mm fretheight, for reason that playing gets undoable then.

I suppose (I'm dutch) by 'tall frets' you mean the 'high ones'? Oh, would it be wise to first google for the minimal fretheight?

Hi everyone, while working on 3 or 4 frets of my Ibanez bass (fretrocker) that were too high on places, I noticed that most frets have dents were strings hit them. My question is: knowing none of my frets are too high now, to get rid of those dents, can I sand the whole fretboard equally with my beam and will it still be level ? Thanx in advance

Thank you for your professional comments, Bizman62! I learned a lot of it.

6x colours wax and 6 colours felt pencils. (www.bol.com - netherlands).

I'm shure willing to sent some photo's, but i just don't understand that, after searching several websites 'bout scratch removing, I can't find the colour 'maple' as a blond, white or yellow colour. They all show me a reddish/brown colour. In fact, that's my question. caus' I just don't get it. Never the less, thanx!

Thank you, Bizman62 for this clear explanation. Do you also know why my maple retouche pencils and fillers show me a total different colour (red/brown)? Is birch also available as a colour/filler? Greetings, Frans

Hi there, I'm confused of what colour a maple neck actually is. Having a strat with maple neck (right colour, I think) shows me however that the fingerboard is light-yellow, and also new maple necks I've seen are almost white. But, when ordered a set of retouche pencils and wash, maple comes out almost brown. My strat has a slight scratch on the (yellow) fingerboard and some colour is missing there. What colour do I have to buy for reparing this (most colours are much too dark), and what colour does my fingerboard has really? .
