Subject : Taping veneer/substrate sandwich for the vacuum press
Posted : 2003-06-07 2:38 PM

Using yellow glue, this morning I applied flat cut cherry veneer to 3/4" plywood. Had oversized bottom caul I put on the platen. Applied glue to one side of the substrate, laid on top of backer veneer, applied glue to the other side of the substrate, laid on the face veneer. Laid on 1/4" top caul, then started taping the sandwich together in several places so veneer wouldn't shift as sandwich slid into vacuum bag. Backer veneer was already trying to buckle, started to wonder if the masking tape would keep the backer veneer from flattening completely. Would it be advisable in future to always include bottom caul in taped sandwich? Thanks.

Don,I include the bottom caul in my sandwich even if it is oversized. That way the bottom side veneer is pinned between the bottom caul and substrate and cannot curl. I never have the masking tape come in contact with the veneer its just on the cauls.SincerelyDarryl Keil: Using yellow glue, this morning I applied flat cut cherry veneer to 3/4" plywood.
