I've never tried it, but I know of some who will freeze the inlay part, to shrink it, then inlay the part into the cue while it's frozen.

I don't know of any cue maker that just presses the inlays in without using some sort of adhesive.

I have seen customers using a magnifier trying to find glue lines, but as I've heard Richard Black say, Cue art should be viewed from at least a arms length.

Just my opinion, Barry c.

Good info Barry, thanks.
