PaulThePlug Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Quick 10 min Sunday Job... Odd sharp fret end and hard edge on the bitsa necks... For some reason i came across theses 4 Way (Sand,Smooth,Buff,Polish) Fret Dressing Sponges in Superdrug... A bargain at £1.99 or 2 for £3... https://www.superdrug.com/Make-Up/Nails/Manicure-%26-Pedicure-Tools/Nail-Files-and-Buffers/Superdrug-4-way-Nail-Buffer/p/785413 Did a Luverly job... spongy so you can crease for better shapeing, smoothed the fret ends and light-rolled the fretboard edge. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulThePlug Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) I got a couple of those in the shed... not sure what grit but look quite course... Your superfine are listed as 360-500 grit. The Nail Sponge looked useful in the hands of an ameture as a lighter grit and with buff n polish sides... Didn't want to take too much off, especially the neck with the Mapel Fretboard with Blocks, as it has got a bit of a tint finish.

Much easier to get than a high grit paper/cloth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
