Help on Dunlop 6502 Fingerboard Kit

[ethanleow]

Hey guys, can any of you kind of enlighten me how you guys use this? I read the instructions but it doesn't really say much though.

1) Do you guys apply the 01 using your fingers or cloth? I realise it's a spray.. how much do you guys use

2) The micro fine cloth, it has a cloth side and a synthetic leather side, which side do you guys use to polish the frets?

3) Is it better for me to continue with 02 or 65 lemon oil?

i have that kit!
i use the o1 first, spray it on the fretboard and use the cloth to rub the dirt away.
then i just dap the lemon oil and let it rest awhile and wipe off the excess.
about the micro cloth. i think its sandpaper. which is meant to polish the frets. i think i used the 'synthetic leather' side to polish the frets.

hope this helps.

Thanks so much! It really helped. So you did not use the 02 at all or do you mean the 02 is also lemon oil?

Btw, anyone who tried it and have any bad experience with it?

Dude, DO NOT spray anything directly on the fretboard. It could get on the neck and mar the finish.

01: Spray on a clean soft cloth (e.g. old t-shirt) and use to clean the fretboard
02: Apply on fretboard, leave for a few minutes and wipe off the excess
Fret polishing cloth: Make sure you mask off the fingerboard before you do this, lest you wear down the fingerboard in the process. Just put masking tape on both sides of the fret, covering the wood and leaving only the fret exposed.

Wow! Thanks tube screamer!

yup. the 02 is the lemon oil.
well for me. i sprayed onto the fret board if i recalled correctly. but i did it real close so nothing got onto the neck.
