The cleanest way to do them is to create a "Frame" out of packing tape then the glue stays where you want, after the inlay is carefully placed another piece of tape over the top applies the pressure and allows you to flatten out the epoxy and the inlay creating a near perfect transfer... If you can get away with a softer wood and a few taps of a chasing hammer, you can sometimes get a near perfect look with a slight imprint... Unfortunately we have to come up with fun ways of putting the inlay "On" instead of "In" the scales.. I guess if one were doing resin pours they could try an actual inlay, or if you have a laser..

Edit: Sorry to answer the exact question, the inlays are very thin, then the epoxy and the inlay are very very very carefully sanded, and cleaned up of any excess, which creates a "feathering" from the process
