Scratch -X and Zymol

If you put Zymol on an unfinished wood fretboard, there will be little bluegreen flecks all over the woodgrain.

I would prefer that you don't ask me how I knew that.

Mark, have you tried a toothbrush?

I can vouch, sight unseen, that there is absolutely no plaque buildup, anywhere on his fretboard!

Zymol is not for "wood"--meaning unfinished wood or anything with open pores, even finished wood like oak. Says so on the bottle. Unfinished fretboards need oil-type treatment.

A toothbrush and a good dose of Lem-Oil should get rid of the blue flecks.

They work very well on nitro.
