Pearloid inlay material

[cuejo]

I was searching for a red inlay material and came across pearloid,
Seems like guitar guys use it a lot
Has anyone here used it on cues?

Darcy,
Guitars have a much larger display area, of course, so that large pattern would have a chance to show.
Not sure how it would show up on a cue inlay.
My 2 cents,
Gary

Ya Gary I don't know that the pattern will show,
I wonder about how finish and polish will look...
It's cheap enough, I'll just buy a few colors and try it out

Isn't it really thin?

3mm thick
Should be enough

Looks like just enough to catch an eye. Not too soft, not too loud.

As soon as I get some free time I'll order a few different colors and see what's up

Is it used in cue work? Have you ever heard of Viking, McDermott, or Schmelke? It may not be the exact same stuff, but plenty close enough I think.
