Yep that should work fine but don't let the blade get near the glue layer of course. Note: make sure that the to be wasted piece is very even in thickness or your thin piece will vary similarly.Have you tried the thicker piece without glueing? I do that sometimes but with a longer piece due to the top going in faster than the bottom piece.

I thought about doing that too....just wasn't sure if the two pieces needed securing w the glue or not

Let us know how you go.

Glue with gel contact cement not barge or similar. Coat with a thin layer on each piece and let lay for at least an hour before you place the two together.

Roll to make them adhere fully. I agree you may have a problem if the thick piece isn't almost exactly the same thickness throughout.
