Applying inlay bandings is a very simple operation. Using a router with a straight cutter bit and guide, rout out a groove the desired width and just a shade shallower than the banding. Glue the banding into the groove. When the inlay is set, simply sand lightly until it is level with the face of the project. If stains or fillers are to be used in finishing the project, it is necessary to protect the inlay from absorbing the color of the stain or filler by first sealing it.
