Hi all,

I have 2 question that it would be great to get your feedback on.

1. Body prep for painting - many a website mentions that "naptha" is best for removing grease/oil on the body. What have you used? What got good results? Lighter fluid? Windex? Do any of these chemical risk removing the glue binding?

2. I left some masking tape on my maple fretboard overnight which had the effect of raise the grain. What's the best way to settle this down baring in mind I plan to finish both the neck and fretboard with tru-oil. Sanding? If so, what grit? Steel Wool?
