And I have done cloth hangers "staple style"... worst idea ever. A pain to install and a pain to level.

Thanks for the info.  Glad they work so well.  I have done nails, bobby pins and tooth picks.

20 minutes? just tie & cut? no filing or sanding, easier than fret wire? The purpose was to prove that the Mugwumps article Shane posted was worth trying?

looks like a lot of work. roll out a long bead of plumbers epoxy on there and smash them flat when it's almost cured. ?

Surprisingly they don’t, uncle? They barely stick out, planning to lacquer over them to make them more permanent?

Fret ties are one of the oldest styles of frets, they’ve been using them for hundreds of years, probably thousands? Just tie 2 knots, trim, a few drops of glue & done.

Yes, Brian.  Cool, but do work well and do the knots kind  of bother play?

The big question is how do they work when compared to nails, wire and other stuff we've tried?
