I have a pen that I want to cut a line into going all the way around the pen, using my parting tool. I then want to fill it, with something like the crushed stone material. I tried doing this once before and when I put the CA glue on it, some of the inlay stuff got outside the indented line and then I couldn't get it off the blank and so it just looked messy. I had waited till I was about ready to sand to do it then.
So I'm wondering how people would suggest you do it? Should I put it in while I still have a fair amount of turning left to do? That's kind of what I'm leaning towards, the logic being that then I'd turn off any part where the inlay leaked out and got on the part of the wood I don't want it on, and hopefully as I turn it the rest of the way down, no more will escape from the indentation. Thoughts or ideas?
