Wayne: I have a marquetry piece 6×10 inches to inlay into a solid maple tabletop. The table is routed out, the piece fits and its ready to put in the vacuum press. Which of your glues would you use?
Paul: I always laminate the Marquetry to two other cross banded backing veneers (perpendicular to each other) and make a three layer plywood using Urea glue, then inlay that ply sandwich into the table top and glue it in with PVA, Urea or Polyurethane glue. The sandwich with marquetry on the top surface will be much more stabile and not crack when the solid wood moves seasonally.
