karlfer Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I've not sanded the back of a neck before but can I really do that much damage to a 2008/9 Road Worn Jazz? Anyway, I saw a video that recommended applying lemon oil after sanding. Being a lazy git, I have a little bottle of Fender fretboard refresher which smells a bit lemony. Would it be ok to use that? Thanks in anticipation 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 You can use these Karl, they come in fine and medium, they are used in furniture making and for fine sanding in between spray coats, I’ve done a few of my necks and they come out so smooth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) Hi Karl, are you planning on taking back to bare wood? If this is the case, I use fine sanding pads and then fine grade wire wool (masking all electronics first). Then I use Birchwood Casey Tru Oil on the unfinished wood, and finish with gunstock wax. If you’re just smoothing out a sticky gloss finish or taking out dings then I just use wire wool again, but no oil or wax as the wood isn’t exposed. Lemon oil is just lemon scented mineral oil which won’t do any harm. steve Edited November 21, 2021 by Muppet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
