[quote name='Dave Vader' post='1286327' date='Jun 29 2011, 12:49 PM']Also, I have no radius block for my spare fretless neck, and it needs a few bits of high filler, and various dings and lumps levelled out, anybody done this with a bit of foam and some sandpaper? Did it work? Or did it make it worse, as this is my current plan.
All help much appreciated guys,

I've done a defretted neck without a radius block, just fine grade (600?) paper and a flat hand block(cork). Working lengthways it seemed to follow the radius fine, and the paper isn't really removing any meat, just the high spots where I had filled the fret slots with woodfiller. While you're at it, you can roll the fretboard edges to make the neck really comfy.
I put some Tru-oil on the board and flatted that down with very fine paper, slightly damp, and that gives a very nice satin sheen that looks remarkably similar to the factory finish on my US Masters bass neck.
