I'm thinking about using the StewMac Black Fingerboard Stain on an Ebony Fret board however I have a few concerns. One is the fret slots, I'm worried that the oil could cause the frets to lift up. Another would be bleeding, lets say down the road I use some cleaner/conditioner on the board, will it bleed? Thanks in advance, Scott |

Looking for info on this stain from Stewmac and found this post, which never got any replies. I have the same questions Scott had. Scott, did you ever get answers to your questions? Anyone else use this dye on fretboards and have any experience to share? A couple of reviews on Stewmac's web site say it stains fingers for a while after application, while playing. I wonder if that goes away over time. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks! |

I use it occasionally for fingerboards as well as dying Braz bridges black. (I don't like Ebony bridges) It will lift, rub off ect. but after a week or 2 it's pretty colorfast. |

It can give a blue tinge to MOP position markers. |

You can buy the Fiebings leather dye at any Tandy Leather store as well. |

I use it sometimes. You do have to gently scrape the MOP clean. Other than that I have been very happy with it. |
