    Thanks Steve. Do you have to rinse it out good so it does not get hard? dave

    Scott, I like your idea. If you do that on a plaque, won't that put enough glue on that when you clamp it that the glue will ooze out where the backer is showing in the letter openings? dave

    If you have any tips or tricks gluing thin script to a backer please share. Seem like I have a lot of problem with it oozing out. dave

    The plaque and inlay is 5/8 thick. My angle was a bit steep so the inlay did not go all the way in but it really didn't matter because I covered the back with a backer. The biggest problem I have is that I need to buy a smaller drill to hold the tiny drill bits. Thanks for all the nice comments. dave

    The last project I showed was repairing a brain fart with an inlay. Actually, I have had a couple of them lately. I liked the outcome enough I thought I would do an inlay on purpose this time. I haven't sold any pieces yet and I question if the inlay will add enough in value to pay for the time and materials. Of coarse most of what we do is for our own satisfaction, enjoyment and ego. This plaque measures 8" x 16". It is 5/8" white oak with a walnut inlay. I used a 1/8 Masonite backer. dave

    Looks really nice in the two tones. Did you glue the lettering to the back to help support the letters. dave
