You’ve been taping the pickups, right?

Yeah. I read about that before I used the wool.
I feel an ICP song coming on!

I got the Dunlop System 65 Guitar Fingerboard kit when I did mine earlier this year. It worked well for me. Probably overpriced.
Great idea. I would’ve never thought about using this for a fretboard. But as said, great idea.

I’ve always used “Bore oil” on my fret boards. This was a recommendation from a guy I knew who was a North Texas State University Jazz graduate. He said it’s what the professors told them to use on their upright bass finger boards.
Bore oil is what woodwind musicians use on their clarinets, oboes, etc after they are done playing to clean the spit out and preserve the wood. So, given the source, that’s all I’ve used for the past 30+ years. A bottle lasts FOREVER!
Whenever I change strings, I put some on a cloth or paper towel and work it into the fretboard. It lifts the gunk off and then I apply a bit more onto the clean fretboard, let it sit a bit and wipe it back down again.

When you say bore oil, I think of my days in the Navy of cleaning the bores of 20mm barrels of the anti aircraft guns that I worked on. Is this what you refer to?
No this is for the bore of woodwind instruments like the clarinet. It’s meant for wood not metal.
