hi Scott
Believe it or not, I "TRY" not to use any glue. I found a small thin kerf Japanese saw to cut the fret slots, then i use a strip of mood over the frets and crank down with a quick release clamp. So far so good...on occasion, i;ll get a recalcitrant fret that refuses to sit, then I use a bit of super glue. Good luck buddy!
I use a pinhead-size drop of Gorilla Glue for the marker dots, Clamp tight to keep expanding glue from pushing your dot up and out.
I almost always tap in the frets. Occasionally I'll have a problem fret and I'll used superglue. I have used some alternative materials, such as small nails and jewelry wire, on some builds and I used superglue for them.
For dot markers, I use a small dot of superglue.
Shouldn't have to glue in frets, but if I had to, I would use small amount of a weak superglue. Because if you need to re-fret, you don't want destroy the board.
Would use original Titebond or Elmers Wood glue on wood parts.
OK, any suggestions for me as I'm going to be using some 6d nails that I have laying around, so I'm going to have to glue them.
I have found my way to gel super glue for 6D nail frets.
Before getting here I tried Super Glue, Titebond II and Elmers Pro. Unlike these others, the Gel has performed flawlessly.
Regular super glue eb will "wick" under fret for better hold. Just don't over do it.
