Default Banding on bowls

Tom Dougall wrote:
I would like to try making a bowl with a fancy band around the rim.
Since I have never done this before I was hoping to get a few pointers from
the group. Is the banding you can buy from craft supplies self adhesive?
Is it best to initially turn the rebate for the band slightly deep to start
with and then turn the outside of the bowl flush to the band. Also any
tips about making sure the cut ends of the band line up exactly. Any help
will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Have not done that, but have made inlay banding with Inlace and with
black epoxy with crushed turquoise. Have had problems with Inlace
breaking up and popping out after a few months.
