Hi Guys,
I have just received my Dingo tone guitar and neck finish kits for my first build TL-1 and I am about to commence applying the first coats which brings me to ask can I use the Colourless neck kit on both the neck and the fretboard and if I can use it on the fretboard should I cover the fret wire?
Any ideas or assistance greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Someone will be along with a definitive answer, but in general, it’s ok to finish over the frets as normally you would remove it during levelling and dressing.
Hi Genesis 58 - I would use the colourless neck kit on the back of the neck but not the fretboard. I would wax the fretboard if it was me.
IMHO - Dingotone is not hardy enough to withstand the fretted strings.
that being said you could use it on the fretboard as a stain and sand it back then wax. (I was going to try this).

Hi Genesis 58, I used the neck kit on both the back of the neck and the fretboard, so far it seems to be working quite well. I put 4 coats on if they helps.
Also don't use it on rosewood fretboard, they don't need a finish.
Brad.
