Thanks Waz, pretty happy with how it came up. Cutting the nut shelf down this evening was fun though, taking a chisel to an almost completed custom Ebony fretboard. It made me a tad bit uncomfortable.Originally Posted by wazkelly

Mmm sharp chisels like cutting fingers
Fingers mercifully intact, left hand stays on chisel shank during that operation. I’ve no wish to learn Django’s style out of necessity.

Holy crap, is that fretboard lifting?
'As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.'
Not good. At least you're in a position to re-glue it. Maybe with something stronger? It's not something you want to come apart or take apart again.
I left it upstairs through today, which I think caused the issue. It gets stupid hot upstairs during the day rather than the cool even temp of the Lab.
I am going to leave it and decide how best to attack it. I feel the board will have to come off and be cleaned up if I have to switch glues.

At least Igor will be used to taking necks apart.
Warmth is Titebond's Kryptonite.
Better to find out now than later.
