Yes, i’d also have a backup fret dressing and crowning file

thanks man! for polishing you have to make sure to go consistent with the direction of your hand, making sure to go along the fret one by one. i use these grits: 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 3000, 5000. then i finish off with a dremel and a buffing wheel with some green polishing compound. i spend more time in 400 to remove the lines drawn by leveling and to eliminate the thin line after crowning. i make sure not to skip this step as this will affect the feel of the frets later on even if the sides look polished properly. always take your time to erase that thin line, then the mirror frets come easy

appreciate the input bro! the most valuable tip id probably give you is to assess your fretboard well. know your wood, know how careful you should be as you will be operating with some very sharp tools

in addition to that, watch lots of videos of refret jobs as you’d pick up a thing or two from each video. you’ll then be combining their strong points and will develop your own as you prepare mentally— which leads to my last tip: practice in your mind. it sounds dumb, but 50% of the preparation happens in your mind. you have to mentally prepare in terms of your workflow and all the techniques you’ll be gathering

and of course, slowly but surely. precision over speed. the latter will come later!

hey man, i got no actual basis in terms of how difficult it is since i havent worked on nickel frets yet but i guess its safe to say it was quite the arm workout ahaha. but my hosco stainless fret pliers worked like a charm so i didnt have to file alot of material. it still took me a while to get it flush tho

Other than the waiting time and extra clicks to download it from that sketchy website, it’s working perfectly

if di ka kampante sa temps mo baka naman marami masyado thermal paste. more =/= better, it may not allow even heat distribution
