I still have some frets to fill in under, but given my problem with Macassar Ebony dust, I decided to skip that for now and work on the side dots. I marked and carefully drilled the holes for the side dots on my drill press with a 2mm brad point bit. A single dot at the 5th, 9th and 15th fret, double dots at the 7th and 12th. Then I epoxied them in.
After the epoxy set up, I used a double cut bastard file to sand down the epoxy and dots. Once it was close, I scraped it flush. I think I want to add one on the 3rd fret.

Instead of using the dust that is giving you the reaction, you can get some black CA glue from Stewmac to fill under the fret ends. I did that on my first guitar and the CA is invisible now that it is finished.
