I used some Alternative Ivory from Masecraft for inlay material... it is a polyester material. It is nice to machine and finishes nice.
I use a hard slow cure epoxy for my sealer followed by a water based urethane clear coat.
It buffed out perfectly but by the next morning I could feel the inlays because they raised under the finish.
I sanded them down and refinished them and after a day, I could feel them again.
I took some of the Alternative Ivory that measured .127 in thick and put it in some water, In a few hours it measured .137 in. It swells with moisture.
I did the same thing with Juma and it never moved.
I am cutting out the inlays and replacing them with Juma.
Has anyone else experienced this?
