I have an inlay design for fretboard that's a little intricate and considering pour-in inlay with mica colouring. I've never seen the results firsthand.
1. Do they look ok?
2. Do any of the above noticeably yellow or wear badly? I'm thinking 2, 5, 10 years.
3. Which is the best glue/resin for this?
Any tips most welcome. I prefer to learn from mistakes of others than my own screw-ups. I have plenty of them as it is.

Re: Inlay with resin, epoxy or CA glue
If you’re considering pour in, your cavities will have to be perfect. A little sanding dust and ca or epoxy hides small gaps in the cavity with traditional inlay.
Unless you have a cnc I wouldn’t consider using pour in inlays.

I've used Titanium White powered mixed with epoxy resin for my color filled name on my head stock for years. You need to mix it in well, then I pore some out on some baking paper and massage it with a credit card to make sure that there are no dry clumps left. If there are and you inlay it, you will end up with voids after leveling.
