Stroke of genius that one.

Yes:-)

Another possible way to prevent relative movement is to get a glass
fibre repair kit and lay up some glass fibre tape over the join.and
impregnate with epoxy or polyester resin.

You can keep this all very thin and flat by using a plastic sheet -
polythene - over the join weighted down with old bibles and suchlike,
to make sure its very flat.

Umm.. I'd worry about adhesion to cheapo chip though. Smell in a micro
flat is going to be interesting as well.

I think I'll go with the *stitching* suggestion using plated stemming.
