Mattia Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 hello, i was wondering if you guys could maybe give me some good tips or a good guide to removing inlay dots... thanks! Drill them out with a slightly smaller diameter bit. Should just shock/pop/crack them out. Quote

amwarrior15 Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Posted January 6, 2007 (edited) ok that doesnt sound too difficult... should i drill around the edges of the dot or in the middle? Edited January 6, 2007 by amwarrior15 Quote
cSuttle Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 ok that doesnt sound too difficult... should i drill around the edges of the dot or in the middle? In the middle. The drill bit should only be a little smaller. The rest of the dot will chip out after than on it's own or with just a little help from you. Quote

You'll want to stain it with anilyne dye. Sand it clean to about 220 grit then apply the stain several times. http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=...,42996&ap=1 Quote
