Top measurements are crucial on acoustic guitars as we can keep an eye on the amount of movement due to humidity fluctuations.
Dampits are recommended and sold at the shop.

Glue, Stone, and Dress Frets
Refretting
Refrets always include a new nut and set-up. I don't recommend shimming an original nut or filling the slots. I can recreate the look of the original nut if needed.
Frets are carefully removed using heat to avoid any chipping. Fretslots are cleaned of all old glue. Fingerboard is planned under tension, (if needed), and frets are custom curved and tangs are crimped to fit the old slot. Frets are painstakenly seated perfectly with absolutely no gaps.
I form a nice intonation point along the top of the fret and then shape and soften the fretends.
I don't "round off" the fretends. I prefer the playable top off the fret to extend out as far as possible.
There are shop guitars available to see and play my fretwork.
