Wow, isn't that stuff nice? I just refretted a brand new Kentucky KM-174 (a cheap Chinese oval hole) mandolin with it.
I hate replacing frets. I get impatient, especially on radiused and/or bound fretboards, but this was great. The fretboard on the KM-174 is flat, but it is bound.
My cr@p eyesight often struggles to see how much tang I've nipped off to clear the binding, but the slightly different colour of the EVO seemed to make it easier for me to see.
Although it files nice and easily, the EVO wire seems quite resistant to scratches, and it looks great when it's on. I think it's a nice, subtle colour.
Going to do another mandolin with the same wire in a few days. Bearing in mind my dislike for fretwork, that says something for this product.
NFI.
