On the road again

A package arrived from Hawaii today... a new slotted ebony fretboard and some mother of pearl fretmarker dots. So I headed to the shop.

On my way out I grabbed the iron from the laundry room, soaked an old t-shirt and was on my way.

First I let the iron sit for a while to heat things up.


Then used a putty knife to pry it off.


I went in sections heating it up and gently prying at it until it came off.


Here's the old and the new.


Now I get to do the inlay over again. I've got an assortment of material to choose from.
