How much of the fret board should be masked before spraying? I've masked the top and sides, but get a ridge of varnish when I remove the masking. I'm concerned about sanding it down too far. |

I only mask the top of the fingerboard, finish on the sides of it is normal and the masking line is on the edge and sands of easily. Fred |

Pretty much as noted by Fred. I mask the top of the f/b, exposing just a hairline of the top edge. After spraying and removing the mask, I run a small sanding block along the top edge to break the finish then clean up the top of the f/b with a razor blade. Makes for a very clean transition. Ken |

So do you fret before or after spraying? |

I fret before. Some fret after. |

I fret the board before I put it on the neck , Like Fred I mask off the top and clean up after. I don't like masking the sides , I want finish there and use the edge of the fretboard to be the separator. |
