[QUOTE="kyratango, post: 3407728, member: 5006"]On your last pics, I can now see the damages! I never "kyratised" those Boulle inlays, but I know the glue involved is organic, either rabbit skin or fish glue... These are activated by heat and moist. :facepalm:NO SUPER GLUE or similar should be used... Oiling would only be done once the pieces are back and secure in place (oil prevents the gluing to be effective!):nailbiting: That is a very nice piece, deserving a professional restore;) On a flat piece, I'd try ironing medium temp with steam through a cloth and let set under a press. Convex parts here are the problem with press:rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
