Adjusting the trussrod before dressing the frets?

[slowlearner]

Got my neck all ready to dress the frets. Having put a straight edge a cross it, I've noticed it has a very slight back bend in it. Like 1mm from end of the board to the other. I'm guessing string tension will more than fix that.

I'm wondering whether to adjust the TR up a little (double acting) to bring it up close to straight before flattening the frets down, or leaving it back bent and going from there.

What would y'all suggest?

I'd definitely do that Pete, but a good idea is to get the fretboard itself straight and not the fret crowns, so what i do is i use three small drill bits all exactly the same size and lay them across the fret board, one each end and one in the centre so your straight edge can sit on those and clear the frets, this way you can see what the fretboard is doing and not just the frets. Once i get my f/b straight this way then i can look at my frets.
Good luck Pete.
