    Fretboard Inlays lifting

    I noticed the other day that the trapezoid fretboard inlays on my SSCM-1 (which was completed in 2021) had started lifting up. All of them from the 3rd to the 12th fret!

    Has anyone else had this experience?

    Reading online it looks like a relatively common issue!

    Anyway, I followed the method suggested by the Stewmac video:
    https://www.stewmac.com/video-and-id...etboard-inlay/

    Add thin CA glue in the loose edges, cover with wax-paper, clamp using a capo.
    Once dry, then use a razor blade as a scraper to tidy up the glue marks and get a flat surface.
    Re-oil the board.

    I think it was very successful!
