Max Bosco Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 While waiting for the postman (to deliver the veneers for a LP-style guitar I'm customizing), I dared to do something I had in mind for a long time. Just tried to fill an inlay using the Stewmac "Super glue & soda trick". The problem is I had no soda so I've tried with some flour... Didn't expect too much from this experiment, but I have to say I'm quite happy with the result... it doesn't look like MOP, of course, but I like the vintage/grungy color, it fits very well with the design and what I had in mind.

Mateyboy Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Nice! You've inspired me to experiment with inlays. I'm thinking, crushed stone, wood dust, and maybe even see craft glitter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Bosco Posted February 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Mateyboy, the interesting thing is that different materials react in different ways to CA producing unexpected colors/textures... so there's a lot to experiment with! Next time I want to try with colored chalks to see if the color is preserved. And what about sea shells? We have to try... Feel free to share your works! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mateyboy Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Hi Max So, I had a little experimentation this afternoon. I had an old fret board, so I cut it up and tried out two different inlays, the one on the left is some pine dust and the one on the right is flour - both mixed with super glue.
