Cloth Inlay Question for Epoxy Board

General Discussion
1

I checked the archives but wanted to know if anyone had some advise on the following issues.

  1. Can I use a cotton/polyester blend for the inlay or will the polyester create a problem.
  2. Was going to wet the blank lay the cloth, flush it out, and then lay double 6 oz over it and set up the board.
Check out this fabric.

1 Cotton/Poly blend is not a problem.

2 Definitely preseal the area of the inlay with epoxy. On some inlays the EPS blanks out gassed and blew a huge bubble under the fabric. Presealing the area is a good precaution against this happening. BTW, even though it’s rare, I’ve seen it happen on ocassion with some urethane blanks too.
