PASTING THE INLAY ON A MOROCCO GROUNDWORK
To avoid crushing the grain of rough morocco, the tool illustrated in Fig. 33 is used instead of the roller to secure the adhesion of the inlay to the groundwork, in order that the pressure may be applied only upon the inlay. Damping the groundwork, except where the ornament is placed, should be avoided. The tool is held pressed down with both hands as in Fig. 34, and rubbed backwards and forwards. The work is then placed under boards.
