Micralone®
Sheets (All Nature Shell Veneers)
Sheet Size: 3"x 5"x 0.20mm (thick)
This is a product from the makers of Lamalone®
and is an inlay artist dream! It is made from all natural
shell and is about the same thickness as several sheet of 40 lb bond
paper. It is thin enough that with several coats of lacquer NO inlay cavity is
needed!!! 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 dream for doing purfling
and binding without having to "break and miter" the pieces. You can made
custom rosettes without having to create an inlay cavity. Inlay pieces can be
cut in a fraction of the time (and money) that it takes with standard inlay
blanks and without ANY compromise in the quality of the finish product!!!
Micralone® has all the beauty of natural shell products,
because it is natural shell.
The different between our Micralone and and
MicroVeneer is that the Micralone in ready-to-cut with a opaque enamel "backing"
and a clear coat of the highest quality non-yellowing Minwax's Helmans Spar
Urethane on the dress surface. This product can only be color tinted by using a
transparent coating on the dress surface. If "back tinting" is desired (won't
wear off) our MicroVeneer should be obtained to color tint the shell veneer. Our
MicroVeneer should also be used if you want to clear coat with something other
then a urethane (i.e. Lacquer, varnish or some other non-urethane coating) or
don't want a clear coat on the dress surface.
