Hi Folks, I probably should have included this question on my last post about pulling frets. Anyway, when pulling frets on a fretboard with finished/unbound edges I expect chipping from fret removal. This guitar has a Urethane finish done by Tony Ferguson. How would you repair these without significant refinishing? Thanks, Max |

Feather the finish before you pull the frets. I use sponge pads because the conform to the fret ends. 600-800 works for me. Then chips if there are any will not be so deep. Then touch up with French polish after the fretting. Mike |

I generally use a burn in fill for these chips as it is quick and gets the instrument off my bench quicker. CA is the another option. |
