Side dot guides.

Here is a super basic thing I just modeled and 3d printed. Small drill guides to place a 2mm hole directly centered in the side of a fretboard. I made a few sizes for different fretboard thicknesses. Seems simple but its a huge time saver.

Yellow stain creeping from ebony dots

As seen in the picture. I gotta get this build done in one week and realized I didn’t have black plastic side dots so I whipped some up out of ebony dowel stock. For some reason a yellow stain comes out after I spray with lacquer. I sanded back one time already and respirated but here we are once again. What’s going on here?

I talked myself through it. Sanded back and did a shellac wash coat then lacquer. Also added a white dot inside the black dot for fun. Looks good to me. Thank u :)
