Review on Inlaystickers Sticker/Decal (FT-050TG-BP): Enhance Your Instrument with Stylish and Durable Inlays! by Brittney Shallenberger

So here's the actual inside story on this point; It's not the same as putting a sticker on your elementary school catcher. You must prepare the bar properly or you will be disappointed (don't rely on the 'instructions' provided, they are clearly lacking). Like any glue-based product; There must be a clean and dry surface to adhere to. That being said I think these things are great for decorating your guitar for a few bucks. I put them on an electric/acoustic guitar with gold hardware and by the time you get about six inches down the neck you can swear it's an inlay. First remove all the strings and lay the guitar on a flat surface. Fretboards are inherently dirty and oily due to our messy little fingers, and you need to get rid of all that if you want them to last past the first gig. This is also a good time to buff the fret wire with ultra-fine steel wool if you haven't done so in a while. Grab some clean paper towels and some kerosene or rubbing alcohol and start cleaning the fretboard. If the paper towel gets dirty, use a clean place. Use your nails to stand right next to the frets. This takes several passes. When your paper towel comes out clean, you can finally start applying the liner. This will dry out the fretboard and make it lighter, which you can fix when you're done. Cut and lay out the inserts before removing the backing, especially if using a kit designed to cover up existing spots. In this case, start with the vine pattern with the dotted frets and work from there. That way if you make a little mistake you won't miss the points when you get to that fret. When you start using them, the X-acto knife helps a lot. Use the tip to peel off the sticker and hold it while positioning. So don't touch the glue with your fingers. Position it where you want it and click on it. Erase it from the middle with your fingernail and then remove the top transparent layer. Keep going until you kill them all. The final step is to put some moisture back into the fretboard wood, but you don't want it to get under the decals and lift them up; So don't use a brush. I use lemon oil for fretboards, but whatever you decide, apply sparingly around the fretboards with a Q-tip and wipe off excess oil. You can easily see any dry patches you missed. Erase, draw, and tune it, and you're ready to dazzle the crowd with your super-expensive, custom-made guitar.
