    Fret levelling neck bow

    I've just levelled some frets and thought that giving the neck a slight backwards bow/convex curve would mean that when the strings are on and tension pulls the neck, it all levels out nicely.

    Hey McCreed, how should I be using this stuff? I gave it a go with a rag, just wet, not soaking, and it hasn't moved anything. Should I be soaking it? Do I need to do something immediately after?
