VeneerStain.JPGAlright I'm depending on the great guys at SMC to tell me what's happened.
This is my first attempt at veneering a large piece like this.
One of the drawers fronts I veneered has these dark linear streaks that look like staining.
Needless to say, a real bummer.
The veneer is glued to solid wood with Titebond Cold Press glue.
Thinking about it, I really think I used too much glue and the veneer soaked it up. I also noticed the glue dries very dark.
I'm thinking some glue bled through some porous grain in the wood. Is there something I should do to avoid this?
So aside from what is going on here, my other question is do you apply glue to both veneer and substrate?
I used a rubber glue roller, which I think leaves a thicker film then needed.
In a video I saw yesterday, I noticed the guy used a fabric roller.
I'm going to have to plane off the veneer and apply some new - worst of all, pray they still have some from the same lot.
