Les,Putting the panel in a hot car and veneering only one side are the two problems I see. The warpage came from veneer on one side only and the cracking came from the panel in a hot enviornment too soon. The veneer needs to sit a good 24 hours before it is exposed to extremes in temperature. Even if the veneer was dry, the yellow glue introduces moisture back into the veneer which takes a while to get back out.SincerelyDarryl Keil: Darryl,: Ok, let’s just chalk this up to my first attempt, but I want to run : this major screw up by you so that the next one comes out correct.: I started out with three sheets 18 x 20 of waterfall bubinga. I : applied and performed the flattening solution process as you : recommended and waited for the third day to attach the veneer.: I used Titebond Cold Press glue and ½”mdf as a substrate.: Now I do want you to know that I ordered the video on Friday, and was : going on some “good ol’ boy” info that sounded reasonable. I took : the piece out of the press last night after about 7 hours. I let it : sit overnight and put it in my car this morning to drop off after : work. 82F at noon today.: Because of my lack of knowledge and thought that the mdf is a stable : substrate I did not veneer the back.: What I now have is an 18 inch square that if you hold down on one : edge on the face side the other side is a good 1/8” off a flat : surface. Many, cracks in the veneer and several places where the : cracks have actually separated from the substrate.: Now just guessing, the veneer was not dry and I should have let it : set another day. The heat in the car caused it to dry very quickly : shrinking which caused the bow, cracking and separation of the veneer.: How should I have done this. I will probably not do any more until I : watch the video.: Any help will be appreciated.: Les
