Fret tang gaps
I fretted up my board today, the tangs don't extend down to the bottom of the slots so there is a little gap visible from the side. Suggestions on filling these? I was thinking sanding dust from the board mixed with CA or yellow glue? Thanks

A tip I found on the internet was to sand along the length of the side of the board and the gaps will be filled with dust, then a drop of CA.
