Lamalone®is a similar product to Aba Lam and Shell "Lams." That is, it is a sheet of
shell veneer (MicroVeneer) laminated (or
encased) in an organic polymer resin to a particular thickness. This
product is perfect for applications were strips of the Lamalone® are
cut, repeated heated (in 150 degree water) and bent to form a radius curve or a
full circle (ring). It is very often used on Fishing Rods, Pool Cues and other
applications were the veneer needs to be "wrapped" around a cylinder or cone
shaped object or bent to match a given radius. Lamalone®is a "Finished" product that is ready to cut, inlay, sand and polish.
How is Lamalone®different then Aba lam or other
Shell "Lam" products?
a. Lamalone is up to 150% cheaper then the other
shell Lams products
1. Green Abalone Aba lam in the (5"x9") in 0.05" thickness is
over $130 plus shipping!!!
b. Lamalone's veneer sheet is "floated" in its
laminate
1. "Floating" the veneer (30% of lamination resin is on
bottom and 70% on top) which
allows the product to be heated
in hot water (150 degrees) and it can be easily
bent without the veneer
cracking to match a radius or even into a complete circle
(ring) for items like Fishing
Rods and Pool Cues. Because of this technique, InlayUSA
has been recently awarded a
U.S. Patent for this production method.
2. Most Shell "Lam" products are mounted on a fiberglass (with
fiber cloth) backing with
a urethane clear coat topping. Because of
this, they become very rigid within 15
days of being made and both the fiberglass
base and attached veneer can crack and
break during the bending process, but not
Lamalone which uses a custom formulated
organic polymer for encasement
Common Uses:
Inlaying, Mosaic, Marquetry, Design Embellishments, Jewelry, Arts & Crafts, Pin
Shipping, Fishing Rods & Lures, Construction, Tiles, Shower Doors, Instrument
Building (Luthiers), Woodworking, Pool Cues, Metalworking and 1000s of other uses

Seven Reasons to buyInlayUSA'sMicroVeneer®
1. Same product being used
by the most well known musical instrument companies
a. Our Lamalone
are the same as used on the most expensive Fishing gear and Pool Cues built worldwide!
2. NOT CHEAP FAKE PEARLoid BUT REAL "AAAA"
Grade WHOLE SHELL NACRE!!!
a. Made with the highest
quality Shell Nacres available using a process so unique we chose to protect it
by "SECRET" and
not by U.S. Patent that are worthless in stopping overseas companies from
stealing the process!!!
3. MUCH safer to use and process then full thickness inlay
blanks
a. Processing full thickness
inlay blanks creates deadly dust particle
b. Working full thickness inlay blanks causes
cancer similar to that caused by asbestos
c. Processing full thickness inlay blanks is now
illegal in Non-EPA unregulated locations
d. Current full thickness shell blank
sellers are now required to report all purchases
4. Cut your inlay pieces with
Standard Shell Cutting Tools!!!
a. Our product
can be cut narrow and with proper handle and cutting techniques average less
then 5% breakage
1. Using
CNC machine and Hydro-Knife Cutting breakage is generally zero percent !
b.Lamalone can be heated in hot water (150+ degrees) and
bend to conform to a radius or a full circle (ring)
FASTER, SAFER,CHEAPER and EASIER with no loss of quality or appearance!!!
This product is an inlay artist dream! It is made from
pure, all natural shell and is not Pearloid!!! It is
about the same thickness as a sheet of a few sheets 40 lb bond paper. It is thin
enough that with several coats of clear no inlay cavity is needed!!! If covered
with painter's Tape (low tack) it can be cut with sharp scissors or an X-Acto
knife and is perfect for creating custom headstocks or a "Tree of life" fret board designed. You can easily cut custom logo or do nearly impossible
"lettering" for "Brand" names. It is flexible and a perfect for doing purflingand binding without having to "break and miter" each piece to size saving
hours of production time without any loss of quality. You can also made custom
rosettes and other parts without having to create an inlay cavity! Inlay pieces
can be cut in a fraction of the time (and money) that it takes with full
thickness inlay blanks and without ANY compromise in the quality of the finish
product!!! MicroVeneer® can be easy color tinted in you home shop and
Scrimshaw and other artwork can be added to the mounting side of the piece that
is clearly visible through the veneer and will never wear off!!! It has
all the beauty of natural shell products, because it is natural shell and even
experts can not tell the veneers from full thickness blanks inlay work.
