33:09 The Product.

*Refretting a fingerboard with glued in frets glued (be it CA, epoxy, hot hide glue, or titebond) is only a slight inconvenience every few decades for most people. Players gigging a lot obviously need refrets more often. A soldering iron releases any glue in seconds. The benefits of gluing in a fret outweigh the cons. On new builds I use hot hide glue for frets.
