Re: Veneering Advice Sought


 

I haven¡¯t used paperback veneer since I last did commercial work a LONG time ago so can only comment on raw and shop sawn.

Ideally you want a hard glue line to avoid creep, urea would be the best but I don¡¯t like dealing with it so I use a high solid PVA like Unibond 1 which gives a hard enough glue line in my opinion.
?
I did my tool cabinet doors with 12mm BB with Raw Walnut veneer on the fronts and Cherry on the back in a solid Cherry frame and have seen no warp/twist and thats in an unconditioned garage (other than heat) with on occasion 10-15 degrees temperature swings and 10-15% RH.
?
Although sacrilegious in my early years I used yellow PVA and can tell you I have some furniture going back 35 years that were done with yellow PVA and see no creep, one of them is a Walnut burl on MDF with solid walnut edges, however only about 12¡± x 12¡± book matched finished with lacquer.?

I have no experience with PSA backed veneer, only thing I could add is that I would be concerned with creep and if using a solvent based finish de-bonding.?
