| I really like this. I think people intend to buy the intricate stuff if it has a practical use and a mirror is a great idea. As you have said, previously, it is the finish that really makes a piece and all the time (boring though it is) getting rid of any fuzzies, sanding, sanding, sanding and removing gluey lumps is well worth the effort. Too often pieces are spoilt because not enough care is taken with the finish. Well done, you Sue |

| as for the glue, since the cedar was already finished, wouldn't some of the hobby type super-glue work? It's a bit thicker than krazyglue, and you get a few seconds set up time, and it would dry totally clear, and you would only need a few drops. Your thoughts would be welcome...

| I have in the past, on over lays that are not to heavy, after staining, If you don't use stain all the better. I just place the over lay on the product and apply the clear coat over everything. It holds pretty good, and no glue to clean up. As a matter of fact I had recently posted an Indian Head made from 5/8 inch wafer board, attached it to its backing this way(also wafer board), Put on several of high gloss poly. No glue, no problem with it. And holding up well.  I know Im going to get some flak for this method of attaching wood.

| Pete, I see that working if every thing is flat, my 2 pieces were not. What I did is spray the back of the overlay with accelerant and because of alignment issues (the backer is cut out in the center to match the overlay) I put a small bead of medium CA around the center. assembled and cured. I then went around the perimeter gently lifting the overlay and putting CA under it. If I had not prefinished I would have just rolled a thin layer of Carpenters glue on the back of the overlay assembled and clamped ( lead brick)

|  Rolf I see what you are talking about. Thanks. You do great work. I don't use spay on top coats. I have a problem with most oil based spay. Something to do with the chemicals used. Even oil based stains. Most of what of what I use is water base brush on products. Takes longer but enjoy using them better. Less clean up and no over spray to deal with.

| Rolf, You did a great job on that just a thought maybe you could use a high end spray on glue sprayed to the back of the overlay then clamp it on just a thought.Jerry

| Jerry, I would be afraid that the glue would get into the frets and collect dirt. I will try it on some rejects just for kicks.

| I recently used 3M 77 to glue a fret piece to the backing. It seems the only real problem is that if you don't lay it down perfect, you'll smear some of the glue around. No problem with dirt and such, at least not for me. |
