when they are fitted into the recess the edges will create the tightest possible union, After the inlay edge has had the bevel applied, the outline for the recess is then taken from the narrowest point of the bevel (Fig. 4). When the
inlay is actually applied, this slight bevel acts to force the inlay edges into conforming with any imperfections or irregularities in the recess. Commercially produced artistic inlays commonly come with a protective paper over the inlay, and a veneer background around the inlay. Leave the paper intact, and first cut away the veneer background close to the inlay border. Then carefully trim the remaining excess with hand tools. The inlay is applied with the paper side up. After the inlay has been glued into the recess, several strips of masking tape can be used to hold it in position. Because inlays typically never seem to lie perfectly flat of their own accord, a block and weight is recommended over the inlay until the glue has set. Place a section of waxpaper over the inlay first, so excess glue will not adhere to any unwanted surfaces, When applying inlaid banding to boxes, or any square or rectangular surface, the banding corners should be mitered for a good fit. Butted corners do not look nearly as neat or professional as mitered corners. If a series of miters must be cut, it is a good idea to build a miniature miter box especially for this purpose. You will need a very fine tooth saw (available at hobby stores) to make the cuts. Inlaid banding is usually pressed into place with the face of a hammer. Use the waxpaper and weight technique to hold it in position while the glue sets. Inlays can be used in many different applications, from the purely whimsical to the practical. They may be used in traditional ways — to decorative period style furniture, or perhaps as an escutcheon around a key hole, or they may be used creatively — as an artistic tool of the designer-craftsman. Once you have discovered the ease with which inlaying is accomplished, we are certain it is a skill you will use frequently with confidence. WvJ PUT THE WAX IN THE WOOD NOT JUST ON IT!
