Neck reset for this Harmony H162?
I just posted this question over on the patreon app chat which I think might not be the best place, so I’m posting here. Apologies for the redundancy! The Patreon app confuses me a bit.

Found this series last night. The only add to this would be to use fret shield when pulling frets as I don’t know wether these were installed sideways. Neck has crappy, uneven, thick…

Hey all. I’ve used zpoxy quite a lot as a sealer both on open grain hardwoods, and soft woods to give it a bit of surface hardness. *Very* thin coats. Usually 3.
