Inlay

[dwa60]

Can any one HELP me out. I want to make some Inlay pens, but I do not know how to. Every time I try the glidder changes color or it does not shine any more. Is there any video's on this or instructions on how to do this work. When I put some red glitter in one of the hoes's and then ad CA glue it changes color. I have just about given up on making Inlay pens.
Thank You.

I frequently use embossing powder for inlay. Crushed stone also works well. The CA will darken either, so just use a color that is a little lighter to compensate.

Try mixing it in Epoxy 330 and then adding it to the holes. epoxy 330 is water clear.

Glitter and some of the additives used in make up and crafts are made from colored mylar,and or polyester type material. solvents used in some adhesives can attack either the colors or base material. As stated the embossing powder is a good choice. See the below thread for other info

And I second the water clear 330 epoxy
