Split Stems
Posted: Mon Jun 06, 2016 4:38 pm
I was wondering if anyone could answer a question that I believe I already know the answer to, but would just like a few more experienced opinions.
I am looking at making my first split stem. I am going to turn a tenon on my ebonite, and then drill a hole in my other material of the same exact size as the tenon.
My question is this... and I'm assuming the answer is no, but here goes:
Do you make any marks in the ebonite tenon to help the glue adhere between the tenon and the other material? Similar to when you cut a delrin tenon and insert it into your ebonite stem material, or does it go in with just the glue, as smooth as you possibly can make it before the glue is applied.
I am guessing that any marks on the tenon would reveal themselves once you begin sanding to spit the stem.
Also any super glue suggestions for this, or will epoxy work fine?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
