Thank you Kathy for that complete "How To" on the glueing. I have thrown away around 10 intarsia pieces because of the gaps caused in the glueing. Such as the one below. I didn't notice the gaps so much until after I took the picture.

Your leads will be used in the next project. Good thing I don't sell my work because I doubt if anyone would buy it anyway, but it is fun. I don't think it would be as much fun if I sold them anyway.

Hi Chuck,
Your lion looks very nice, hard to see any gaps at all. I think once you try the silicone , you will like using it for all your projects. I just completed a large mural project for a Dr's Office, "Whitetail Woods" 4.5' x 5' over 1075 pieces. I tacked the sections together with silicone and it glued together nicely. I'll try to post a photo.
Thanks,
Kathy

Hi Kathy!
Nice to see you here <grin>

I seem to remember reading once that you tried CA glue; does that work? I'm too impatient to wait for the Silicone to dry <grin>

Kathy,
Thanks a lot for the reply you answered all my concerns and questions. I am sure gluing my next project is going to be much much easier. Again a big

You are very welcome Irish, let me know how it works out for you.
Bob,
I do use the CA glue for gluing sections together that only have a color break and not a sanding level break. Like the spots on a fawn or for gluing several pieces together that need to be sanded as one. With the accellerator it sets within 5 seconds, is that fast enough for you!

Some times if I am in a big hurry with a piece, I will use it to tack sections as well, but make sure your fit is good and you tack it together on a very flat surface.
Thanks,
Kathy
