Cut that inlay in so she sits flush and then use a two part epoxy - or my favorite.....superglue gel. Make sure the mating surfaces are rough and not polished so the glue can wurk. The epoxy will give you more time to adjust it or make small movements; the stupid glue gell will lock it right up. I use the stupid glue, but those NZ boys use an epoxy - I thinkee. edit---- Oh yeah, I would use a small bud to cut in the inlay. Lay it over on its side so it tracks straight. Make the hole smaller than the shell and fit it slowly. My 2 cents. -G http://www.oceanandislandarts.blogspot.com/ [ Edited by: GMAN 2008-11-09 17:39 ]
