Hello Everyone !!! I am doing some inlaying, and I have a few gaps, between the inlay and the stock, what would you use to fill these gaps.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Sparky,
I don't know what type of inlay you're working with but I've been pretty successful mixing some hot hide glue with sanding dust from the bacground wood and working it into the void. On darker woods like walnut or cherry it can be invisible.
The book titled Marquetry by Pierre Ramond covers a great deal of ground concerning the traditional techniques for filling gaps in marquetry and inlay.
If you're doing marquetry try a finer blade in the future. I use a 6X and by working from the back I can cut gap free all day long.
Enjoy,
Madison
