  1. Hi All, I would like to use an epoxy refret method on my guitar to mimimize slot degradation and allow frequent refrets. My frets dent quickly due to my style and frequency of practice. My questions are: 1) On a compound radius board what's a good method for clamping frets down to dry (how to deal with the multi-radius)? 2) Can paste wax be used to control epoxy overflow? Can overflowed epoxy be chisled out? The other choice is tape. However, if you tape right up to edge of slot then fret crown my cover the tape.. 3) What is the best method to clean slots for future refrets when using epoxy? 4) Is there a preferred type or brand of epoxy for fretting? I greatly appreciate any advice.. Joe
  2. Hi All, I am seeking some advice for refretting a compound radius neck. I have watched Dan Erlewine's videos several times and I understand the physics of the cone shaped neck. I do not plan on taking any wood of the neck. It's perfectly straight after truss rod adjustment measuring with a straight edge on the string lies. I am planning on using the long 1" by 2" fret/fingerboard levelers sold at Stew Mac, followed by multiple radius blocks. Does anyone know of a detailed description or web page that describes refretting and leveling a compound radius neck? Particularly how you alter the angle of the long file away from the parallel center as you move across the neck? joe
