trying to jerry rig another thing i neglected to buy - fret marker dot rods. i tried a food skewer, and fitting them is simple, but there's not enough contrast between them and the fretboard wood. i found i had to seal them with superglue too before sanding - the dust from the darker wood was penetrating the endgrain and darkening it. i also even tried flour with superglue mixed in with it, but the flour seems (hydro?)phobic to the glue and it doesn't penetrate the glue successfully.
