Defretting my bass

    I'm defretting my 2nd bass that's been gathering dust.
    Frets came out simply & cleanly using an iron to melt the glue.

    Now the hard bit, I want to use a veneer with epoxy as filler, not just a glue/epoxy. Anyone know where I can get a veneer slim enough to fit in the fret groove? Or recommend a different material?
    What kind of thickness veneer, from googling other products, people have used 1/32" and .023"

    It's a rosewood neck, not too fussy about what kind of colour contrast the veneer makes, but would prefer to be close to the rosewood.

    Would there be an stores around Dublin that have veneers this slim or anywhere online that do them?

    A quick google lands: www.strahan.ie . I dont think they sell to the public but they should point you in the right direction anyways.
