Thread: glue for paper back veneer

  1. #16
    Most people treat paper backed veneer just like Formica and use contact cement. Roll it with a J-roller, just like Formica. Paper backed veneer is intended for millwork applications.

    Note that the wood part of that "veneer" is very, very thin. Just sand very lightly. Make sure your joints match - you can't sand one side down.

    If you're veneering a round object, such as a column, glue everything except the last few inches on both ends. Then overlap the two ends and use a straightedge to cut through both pieces. The joint will then match. Apply contact cement to the last part and roll just like the rest of it.

    Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.

    Will a pre-glued be a bad choice in this situation? I thought I can't find pre-glued at this size that's why I was considering paper back but my thinking is now that the pre-glued (if suitable) is easier in this application. Any thoughts on that?
