I just received my first tube/stick of Fast Fret. How do you know when it runs out? And how much should I put on?

I'm pretty liberal with application so you can decide what feels good. When it runs out the fibers in the applicator will be fairly dirty and dry to the touch. It lasts a long time.

Youll find that tip wears till its end. Another possibility is excesive dry of the element but It shouldnt happen since you keep it close and away from direct light. Use as much as you want in order to feel confortable while playing. This is a good one in my gear.

Eventually it will stop making your strings slipperier. I just rub the thing up and down the strings once or twice. After using it for a while, I don't use a cloth to remove excess because the amount on the strings is invisible. But it still works and makes sliding your fingers on the strings easier, more comfortable, and quicker.

I have the same problem of it slipping, and sitting on the strings wrong. The green tab sticks to the red's rubber piece. The red sometimes thuds out a string if I don't press really hard. I'm ok for the moment as I'm just having fun learning to strum and gain finger coordination. I bought the full system directly from the vendor at a local box store promotion. I bought the complete kit, guitar and all. I am still working with it. I have high hopes for this product as it has been fun so far. I plan to call the vendor at some point to dicuss fitting it to their official chord buddy brand guitar. I have the same problem of it slipping, and sitting on the strings wrong.

Thanks for the info. Some pots must be tipped for the last few hot cups which can cause accidents, spills and burnsso my question really is how much is left in this pot when it stops dispensing? thanks again. m

I bought 4 Qts, but it didn't take all of it. Do not overfill! What I do is empty into oil tray then pour the old oil into a gallon milk container to see how much came out. I thinks it was about 3 Qts.

The "Action" - height of strings - towards the scroll or headstock, is pretty low. I did not have an issue playing the notes in the first four positions with my fingers... With that said, I mainly play guitar, so I'm used to playing a higher action... It was pretty easy to press all the strings down, and to get a good sound. I don't have the equipment to measure an exact string height for each of the strings, but I was pleased with what I pulled out of the case, if I had to guess - the string height towards the scroll might be equivalent to placing 2 playing cards in between the string and the fret board or neck... Hope this helps. The "Action" - height of strings - towards the scroll or headstock, is pretty low. I did not have an issue playing the notes in the first four positions with my fingers...

Really people please don't buy this thing. It's a piece of junk. Person who asked about stings yes they are okay but only about one inch off the fret board. You will need a slide to play it. Save your money and just buy a set of strings.

Hi, the fret work was quite good on my neck as delivered. It did require a fret level, but I do that with all the necks I install anyway.The neck was bowed upward (back bow) so I backed off the truss rod and let it settle for a couple of weeks clamped down to a solid plank of timber. I did this only because I planned to fret level otherwise it could probably have gone on as is and the strings would have pulled the required relief.Cheers

The tube lasts long. Not sure about how many applications. I have been using it one a week and yet have half the tube left (purchased about 5 months ago).

since a teen (over 30 years) Ive always cut an inch to inch and a half off my tubes before putting them on. After I wrap about 1/2 inch from the end of the tube with fishing ling and have never had one come off. Oh, I also have the extended draw so tension is even greater but really adds power to it.

The stock tubes are China generic but sound fine right out of the box - and if this is your first tube amp you won't really notice the difference until you have been using the amp for a while. The stock tubes will last for years unless you are running the amp flat out every day. Having said that, I replaced the stock tubes in my amp with a JJ 803s preamp and JJ 6V6 power and I can honestly say the bass tightened up significantly and the top end was sweetened significantly. I have tried several other tube combos and always go back to those - your ears may not agree and the only way to get your personal sweet spot is to experiment - something this amp was designed for.

Figure a half tube per upper/lower, so a full tube for both. If you are trying to whiten from yellow, use it once a week until you get where you like the color. After that use as needed for maintenance. Maybe once every couple of months.

I refilled mine for 2 years ... got tired of doing so. It is tedious and if you don't do it right, the strings won't come out when you bump the spool.

I have found two of the smaller boxes (3 oz) should be ample because a full syringe is FUN but generally too much for a mouthful. I'd recommend only drawing up to about half, maybe 2/3 full per shot. The Jolly Rancher Green Apple gelatin made with vodka is my go-to. Enjoy!

There is a dosage chart on the box. The first dose is the largest then you decrease the dosage after that. You would probably use 1 to 1 1/2 ounces for the initial dose. It's hard to overdose but it's best to stay with the chart. This product has a two year shelf life, so assuming it hasn't been sitting in the warehouse for a long time this should last you a long time. I have over 1000 gallons in my pond so this lasts only one season, I just use the leftover liquid with my Spring/Summer start up. I've had a pond and Koi for around 15 years and Microbelift is my go-to product. Good luck.

OMG, Lots and lots! I make soups, stews and sauces with the package and it'll be 5-6 month before I've used it up. The portion of stock to water is personal taste. I use about 2-3 Tblsp per cup, sometimes more. It all depends on the recipe.

Just received it today and am confused on which product goes on first, little tube then big tube?
