What do you guys use to glue Mother Of Pearl dots into to an ebony fingerboard? I know most people don't put any in their best classical/flamenco guitars, but I'm inlaying an ebony cejilla here. Epoxy? Cyanoacrylate? I have tried both and both popped out after a few years -- the glue separated at the MOP, which I didn't roughen or treat in any special way.
BTW, you can see my carved cejillas in the classified section of the foro.

I've used superglu but this can dull the MOP, I tried epoxy and this worked ok, and I have also used titebond, I am now using a polyurethane glue , and this seems good.
