Product FAQs
Are these natural turquoise chips?
What glue can I use for turquoise inlays?
Which chip size should I choose?
Who cares. I’ve been dabbling a bit with these turquoise inlay chips, and the few people/friends that have seen the “work in progress” are immediately impressed and then wonder how much I’d sell for because of the turquoise. Good question I thought, but when I realized they were actually synthetic the whole process and price point made more sense. Point is, most people can’t tell the difference between real and these synthetic inlay chips, but being synthetic the cost is lower allowing the user to work a bit more liberally. Sooo, great deal
The contrast between the wood and the inlay was beautiful.
From past experience using a different, but similar product, I expected the chips to machine well with my high-speed steel spindle gouge. Not so much. I WAS able to work it to a satisfactory finish, but not in the way I first attempted. So, this was my project and process: the project was a bottle stopper. While mounted on my lathe, I turned my blank cylindrical, cut a groove on the top with a spindle gouge, then removed it from the mounting so to turn it vertical. I sprinkled the chips into the groove, then applied CA glue and sprayed accelerator. After giving it a few minutes to set, I remounted and attempted to shape that top with my 3/8 spindle gouge, only to dislodge nearly all the chips from the setting. This was not what I expected. So, I then cleaned out the groove, reapplied chips and CA glue, sanded the peaks off the chips and tried the gouge once more with nearly the same results. Success came with my third attempt where I used sandpaper only, first 60 grit, then 80 grit, and then so on. The finished product is quite nice, but, as I stated, I got there with sandpaper, no gouge. Just in case any one out there wants to try the gouge route, I did it and failed for you!
Obviously I forgot what I read in the product description, 4th paragraph, where it clearly states to use sandpaper or a sanding disc. The product and the Starbond get 5 stars, I get 1. LOL
First time I've done an inlay, not as easy as it looks on u-tube LOL Starbond products make it, can't say easy, but they sure make it all better Thanks Darell
Great for my inlay ideas
The turquoise makes the bowl "pop."
Turned a large oak log. Had it aging for @18 months turned it into a large bowl. A week or so after finishing a large crack developed. I filled it with the turquoise chips and some Starbond glue. It going back on the lathe next week. 🤞 everything works out
Very nice for my inlays!
Will order again!
Looks like turquoise

These are amazing! Love the inlay chips. Gives my projects something more than just colored epoxy. Gives more depth and beauty. Hope to see you offer more selection soon!
Good wuality
Stunning color adds an attractive addition to any turned or carved piece
Cracks knots defects. Don’t bother me anymore. With starbond especially the black is so easy to fill and look great
First of all, their CA glues and accelerators are superior to any others I have worked with in the past so they are worth the cost. More importanly, when I had an issue with an order, it was immediately rectified without any questions!
I only use starbond
I stand behind starbond . Great product. My go to. I recommend starbond if u have never used it. Satisfied customer.
I just received this order and haven’t used the turquoise chips yet, but they look great and the amount I received for the price paid was very good. I think they should look really nice in a project. I have used the 5-minute epoxy before and it is incredible. I use it all the time to mix with colors for filling cracks in rustic bowls, etc. and it takes colors very well and is ready to sand or tool very quickly. I mixed it with dark brown color to fill cracks on a recent oak burl bowl and it looks great.
Very nice. I look forward to inlaying them.
Finally I found a quality knot and seam filler that is not hard to sand and sets up in mere seconds. I really love the way it finishes seams on my Acacia butcher block countertops and other wood projects. The dark color is a fantastic contrast yet still blends with all the different shades of the wood. Would definitely recommend and will be purchasing much more for future projects!

They look very pretty. I can’t wait to try them.
The package says these are processed artificial chips. The description didn't say that.
Good stuff at the right price sold by a reliable and dependable company.
