I have done a couple LP style necks now. You should radius and thickness first. Otherwise, with typical .050 pearl thickness, you can sand away parts of the inlays as you radius. The large block shape makes the edges more vulnerable than other inlays that cover less territory. I use Elmers with dust(Elmers dries clear and so the match is not changed -otherwise I use epoxy with dust)Mike T.

Thanks Mike. I figured the inlays wouldn't survive radiusing.
