I'm making my first attempt at inlay and having some trouble.
The instructions I'm trying to follow say to glue the two layers of veneer with rubber cement. I picked up a bottle of Elmer's brand (hey, it worked on craft projects when I was seven, so I figured it would be OK).
I've tried a few ways to try to get it to work, and it just doesn't reliably hold the veneer layers together. I tried putting glue on just one surface and then pressing together; glue on both; letting them tack up a bit, and also trying to press them together as quickly as possible.
Is there a trick I'm missing, or should I be using a different glue? I'm afraid that using anything stronger will make separating the veneers without breaking them a real chore.
Thanks
