I have some MOP coming to try my first attempt at an inlay and I have never messed with MOP before and don't know how hard it is. What I am wondering is if I take the scales to a higher grit would I have to use a lower grit to sand down the inlay or is it soft enough to use higher grits fairly quick. I just don't want to do all the work sanding the scales just to have to go back down in grits to work back up. I was hoping I could just almost finish the scales and then set the inlay and then work from higher grits to finish. I think I am just excited since this will be my first attempt at an inlay plus the scales are the first horn scales I have made from scratch and not just restoring old ones so I am rather impatient on wanting to see the final results.
