Buy Shell Inlays & Sheets – The Duke of Pearl
TEFLON STRIPS
Edge bindings and marquetry are often glued up with a Teflon® spacer strip laminated into the position where shell stripping is intended to go. When dry, the Teflon® is gently pulled out and the shell strips glued into the resulting channel. Teflon® strips are about 34”-36” long, and can be cleaned and re-used several times if care is taken to not stretch them during use.
NOTE: Check width and thickness of each strip before using, as sheets from which these are made vary in size and may be mistaken for the .063” and .098” widths.
