Soldering Iron Fret Removal
Some problem frets getting you down?
Often when you’re pulling frets out from an ebony or rosewood finger board they tend to chip and break the wood as they come out, resulting in more work gluing and filling the boards before the refret. As you know, time is money!
Instead, try using a hot soldering iron to remove problem frets. Place the tip of the iron on the fret to help loosen it and then remove the fret – chip free – with your pliers.
The heat expands the fret tang and shrinks the wood around it slightly, allowing for easier removal. Make sure you have a damp rag at hand jut in case you need to cool things down quickly.
