Hi Neil,
Good job.
Just for future reference what did you use to heat the fretboard/fingerboard/glue?

A steam clothes iron. Left the frets in. Got the paint scraper under it and forced about 2" at a time from the neck after steaming that section. And just kept moving up the neck. It worked really well. Better than I hoped.
