Thread: Help - Suggestions for removing and reintalling inlays

I use the Clear dry 5 minute Epoxy...Adhesive..

BUT

I put some on then use a piece of small metal rod to spread it very thinly on the back, this is the hard part, getting a thin even coat then flipping it and getting hold of just the edges with a set of Micro angled nose pliers...
The real trick is dropping it in the right spot the first try without shaking all over... Because if you move it around too much it looks like "Crappola"
I normally set the inlay on a piece of wax paper while I mess with it...
Use two needle files or two awls to set it in place and hold it in place while the epoxy sets for 5 minutes....

Hint: make sure you polish and clean the inlay BEFORE you remove it from the old scales...

Some fun Huh???

Edit: I have done this with a coating epoxy too, and by putting many coats of finish over the inlays also... It really depends on what material the inlay is going to go on...
