Subject : bending ply construction
Posted : 2003-05-20 7:16 PM
Post #28929

I would like to fabricate a serpentine surface using 2 or 3 layers of bending ply. From what I've read here, xbands between each layer are recommended. I assume this means backer veneer taped and placed between each layer of bending ply. Questions is does the xband stay taped during the vac process? Or if the tape needs to be removed, how would I keep the veneer together during this process? Better yet, can I get away without xband between each layer of bending ply, and just xband the final face (and back) veneer layer?Thanks.

David,Although you can get away without putting cross banding veneer between the bending plys, you will get a panel that holds the radius truer and is more stable. If its a fixed panel and the radius is not too tight you dont have to do it. If its a door or a door panel I would cross band it. I always leave the veneer tape on the cross banding and let it get buried. I do use 3 hole veneer tape so there is plenty of contact between the surfaces.SincerelyDarryl Keil: I would like to fabricate a serpentine surface using 2 or 3 layers of : bending ply.
