Installing Luminlay...what glue?

What's Hot
My stick of Luminlay turned up this morning (ordered from Japan on Thursday...impressive), and it turns out I have no idea what glue to use. My first thought was superglue, but even I considered that a ludicrous idea.

Help?

    superglue is perfect.


    Don't hold the bottle over the guitar neck though, and use it sparingly

    edit - I use toothpicks to add a drop of glue where I want it.

    Superglue on a cocktail stick dribbled into the hole, not applied from the bottle.
    Get a good superglue though, we use one with a spray on activator to set it.

    Excellent shout, cheers guys.

    Mind you, I got precisely nowhere with using a cocktail stick, so I dipped the inlay sticks (very slightly) into the nozzle of the glue tube...worked a treat.

    Sadly, I have to get on with work now, so the filing and sanding will have to wait until this evening.

    I'd originally worried that a single 60mm stick wouldn't be enough for one guitar, but it turns out it's probably good for two! If this works out OK, I may well do the other Jaden Tele too.

    i normally put a small puddle on something disposable.  

    The important bit is never to hold a bottle of superglue over a guitar if you can help it

    Yeah...I usually have enough trouble avoiding burns when soldering pickups; trust me, the glue was kept well away from the guitar :D
