retrorod Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I always recommend bronze wool rather than steel wool, to avoid rust specs. You can also use a Scotchbrite pad. I've also found emery boards (fingernail sanding boards) handy for working around the edges of the frets. It doesn't hurt to use a fine board cross-grain provided you finish up sanding with the grain. It actually helps keep the fretboard flat in the longitudinal plane between the frets, and can remove nascent ruts before they become a problem. "nascent ruts" ....eh! You are da man Nick I like that terminolgy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedzep Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I had to look that sucker up too, Rod. Nick's synapses are firing again. My synapses never seem to get past nascent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What ya think Sounds a bit risqué for someone of your conservative sensibilities, Rod. Personally, I think it's a good name for a middle-aged grunge band.
