Re: [VAL] veneers

[JSmith1805@xxxxxxx]

There are some veneers on the market that have a paper peel off back.I have 
never usad them nor do I eaver intend to the wood is about .100 in thick a 
coup;e of swipes with sand paper will cut through them and they are very expencive.
Using normal vaneers with contact cement is chancy at best most modern 
vaneers are 
1/32in. thick and wood vaneers are not perfactly flat therefore you will not 
geet good contact with the base and many of the solvents in modern finishing 
materals will cause them to release.I fave gotten away with that method so 
rarly I dont try it any more.The only times Imwent that route is when I had a 
employer who thought he knew more than I.
I realy think veneering other than spot repairs is not for the amiture.
I have made all new doors for The Silver Abaltross but the pannels are 
vaneered in a sunburst pattern with diamonds about 5in by 1in by 1/8in thick bedded 
in epoxy. 
When I do any large sheet veneeringI use epoxy laminating rerin but 1st I lay 
a layet of fiberglass cloth over the base wood to keep any defects from 
photographing through then over this I lay the veneer this goes into my veneer 
press to cure.
I personaly would descourage any one from reveneering your trailed it is a 
hell of a lot of work with many pitfalls.eaiser to replace with furniture grade 
plywood.
