Last of all, we are going to stick our printout onto the scale material. A very good adhesive for this purpose is rubber cement. It is inexpensive, does not stain, goes on easily and (more importantly) comes off easily when you no longer want it. | Last of all, we are going to stick our printout onto the scale material.

File:Ignatz-making-scale-designs-computer13 rubber cement.jpg|Rubber cement can be used on only a single surface and directly sticking the two objects together while the cement is wet, but in doing so, you end up with a weak bond. We want something stronger. To this end, we will use the rubber cement in exactly the same way that one uses contact cement. We will brush it onto both surfaces to be joined. Let the rubber cement dry for about five or ten minutes. Then bring the two rubber cement coated surfaces together. Press firmly or even tap lightly with a soft, rubber hammer. When done correctly, it gives a bond that will hold up to sanding operations and will also hold quite well even when cutting the Micarta with a scroll saw. You will find that you can still pry the surfaces apart with relative ease when you are finished. And any leftovers of rubber cement can just be rubbed away with the fingers. | File:Ignatz-making-scale-designs-computer13 rubber cement.jpg|Rubber cement can be used on only a single surface and directly sticking the two objects together while the cement is wet, but in doing so, you end up with a weak bond.

The Micarta sheets have been rubber cemented together and the scale printout has been rubber cemented on top of them. | File:Ignatz-making-scale-designs-computer14 ready to cut.jpg|And here is the final result.
