Hey guys,
I have a 25.5" scale guitar with mahogany body and neck and a striped ebony fret board. I just noticed that the ends of several frets are popping up. I need to figure out a way to set them back in...
I know that I need a bit of water-thin super glue, but how do you guys set and clamp the frets in while the glue sets? I know that Stew-Mac has this vise-grip looking fret tool for about $200, but there has to be a cheaper and effective solution. What did techs do before the Stew-Mac tool?
I also have a small craftsman hammer with interchangeable soft-face hammer heads, if that helps:

Also, I have some Loc-Tite liquid Super Glue. It appears to be almost water thin. Will that work, or do I need the special thin glue from Stew-Mac?
Thanks for your help!
