4 Reasons NOT to Use Veneer Article

Oops, forgot to add that I DO use wood veneer as backs on some of my cuttings.  The big problem I have is finding an adhesive that will keep the paper-backed veneer from lifting.  Goint to get some E6600 and see if that works.

Maybe hide glue? Or, one of these from 3M. I use the Super 77. The cure times are FAR less. The tube of E6000 says 48 hours!


If you choose to try the Super 77 and you want a permanent bond, spray both items. A non permanent bond just requires application to one.

Gene - use 77 lightly to affix all patterns.  Says it's "temporary".  Looked at others that 3M has but to actually BOND the veneer, it says to spray both pieces.  Don't want to get the spray glue on the inside surfaces of the cutting.  Still looking for the E6000.  Don't really care how long to cure, just so it holds.  Still looking - but thanks for the tips.

Fred,


I didn't realize that you were applying the veneer after the pieces were cut. It would be messy, I agree.


Super 77 holds sanding disks on my 12" disk sander for years with a good deal of use and heat build up. It's why I hate changing sanding disks. It's so hard to get off.


Hide glue holds veneer very well. In fact, it was all that was used way back when. Many of those pieces from the 1700's are still around and in good shape. At least those I've seen on Antiques Roadshow. :-)

They don't tell you what their Italian Cheery is made from.


They sort of leave you hanging. Is it a high pressure laminate or what ?
