using to keep glue out of the truss rod?
is it painters tape and did you leave the tape inbetween the neck and fb?

...walnut (NOGAL) was local.... maple top.. from ebay... blue stuff painters tape... and I believe I removed the tape...... and thank you
im seriously confused if he took the tape of before he glued the fretboard.glue would get in truss rod cavity can someone explain
If I'm not mistaken, the tape goes over the trussrod channel, glue is applied, the tape comes off, and then the fretboard is clamped to the neck. There is enough room between the edge of the tape and the surrounding glue that it does not make its way into the truss rod channel when the pressure is applied. I may be wrong with how Dremy did it, but that's how I've seen it done.
...now that ah bingo!!
...bass is sold... this is an old thread...it was revived after I post a link to it on " I built a bass from raw lumber club" someone seen it and had questions ....so now its back!! But bass is sold and thank you
