Butterfly patching (Read 1,147 times)

John Frigillana Active Member Offline WR Rocks! Posts: 153 Kaneohe Hawaii USA Gender: Jet 1642	Butterfly patching May 29^th, 2008 at 7:54pm Has anyone used the butterfly method of patching cracks in bowls. If so, how did you go about preping the outline to accept the butterfly patch, routing or cut and chisel? Any other method being used besides just CA glue.

Cut your "butterfly" from a heavy paper, place it upon your piece, scribe the outline w/an exacto knife, or similar, cut your "butterfly" from a very thin piece of wood, copper, silver, gold, etc., clear out your scribed outline w/an exacto knife or small chisel going alittle bit deeper than the thickness of the "butterfly", glue in your "butterfly" and sand smooth.

It also doesn't have to be a "butterfly" shape, use you imagination to come up w/a shape that compliments your piece.

Now..... does the USA Gold CA glue dry dark when mixing wood particles and wood dust to fill around natural openings to reduce the size of hole? I will be using DO after all is done then buffing and wax.

It's always safer to test on scrap then on the project
