Subject : using plastic laminate backed veneer
Posted : 2003-05-03 7:35 PM

Hello,While saving up for my vacuum press, I thought I might try my hand at doing some simple projects with laminate-backed veneer. I'm sure these newbie questions have been asked and answered before, but I couldn't find where to do a forum search. Hopefully someone will be kind enough to answer them again.1) Do I use contact cement?2) If I'm laminating 3/4" plywood doors (approx. 15"x36"), do I need to balance the door on the other, hidden side with the same laminate? 3) Can I apply the laminate-backed veneer the same way (j-roller with care)I would any "formica-type" product?4) What don't I know that I don't know here?Thanks very, very much.

Mike,You can treat laminate backed veneer like you would regular plastic laminate. Contact cement is fine. Put some kind of laminate on the back but it doesn't have to be the same stuff as the front. J-roller would work well, just like on regular laminate.SincerelyDarryl Keil: Hello,: While saving up for my vacuum press, I thought I might try my hand at : doing some simple projects with laminate-backed veneer.
