Black Mother of Pearl dots for fingerboard inlays

To install pearl dots simply drill a hole of an appropriate diameter and depth and then glue the dot in with superglue or epoxy. It's best to use a brad-point or dowel drill bit as it will be easier to position and give a cleaner edge.

Once the glue has dried level the dot to the timber using a hard sanding block or fingerboard radius block with sandpaper attached with double-sided tape. This hard block will help keep the surface level.
