I dinged my fret board it seems.

Far edge near the fret on the left.



I know some magic though. And I have that new burn in kit.



It's a little oven that you heat knives up in. I ordered 2 knives, but one was back ordered. Really? Cuz you heat one while you work with one.




Wet the area around the dent, and let the water soak in a bit. Apply heat directly to the spot. I've seen guys use a soldering iron to do this, but you have to keep a wet cloth over the work with them. The knife is clean, and cooler so you don't have to worry about burning the wood unless you try to.



The knife :




After the heat gun, I touched it up with super fine sanding sticks.


Pretty frigging gone. You can see a slight discoloration if you know where to look, but no dent at all.
