A stupid and embarrassing question... Inlays...

[Grim]

Hey guys,

I love really white inlays, so for the longest time, when oiling my fretboard with lemon oil, I've worked around the fins to prevent yellowing. Is this necessary or am I being super anal?

thanks,

Grim

Super anal.

Super anal.

Somehow I thought so... Mind you, it never really makes a difference in the oiling job... just takes a little more time and precision.

But the oil would contact the sides anyway once it soaks into the wood. So if it was going to do anything, it would still do it in spite of your efforts.
