SETUP_1

Setup for fretboard removal using hand tools and a science lab hot plate.

 

Heat was applied to the bottom of the neck instead of the fretboard, to prevent melting/scorching the binding and inlays.

 

The polyester clear finish was scored just below the binding to create a separation line between the neck and binding.

 

The small piece of luan plywood between the hot plate and the neck created an air gap to prevent burning the paint and the pink foam on top was to help retain heat in the fretboard.
