Sanding fretboard - advise needed

Jazzthat

So , I am slowly  doing up old pac112 . I'd like to sand neck and fretboard in between frets and re-coat once that it's done with tru oil , and possibly lacquer the whole neck . 
I have never done anything like this , so I am ok to do that or it is a bad idea to sand in between frets?
If so what best method and what materials do I need for this?

Sanding is tricky, but a scraping is effective and easy.
You'll need a new stanley blade and with 2 hands scrape from fret to fret, let the fret stop the blade, don't dig too deep, just medium light, even pressure. 
You could glue sandpaper to one side of a flat stick like a lolly stick and go carefully parallel to the frets.

You can Tru Oil the fretboard, don't worry about getting it on the frets, a cottin bud dipped, but not dripping, in acetone will clean of any oil.

Thanks buddy . I forgot to mentioned that the fretboard is scratched here and there , and it looks too me like previous owner must have used Stanley blade in there . 
So is wet sanding a bad idea or too difficult ?

Wet sanding can can soak into the maple discolouring it and leaving more sanding work to remove it.
Scraping is an established method and not as drastic as it sounds.
