Dear Scott,Dont be afraid of bleed thru, really! As long as the bleed thru is well scraped off you will not have any staining problems. I find that proper scraping and sanding of the veneer for preperation of finish always take care of the bleed thru in the process. Just check the surface by wiping with water, any glue that was not properly removed will show up as a lighter splotch. You still may want to tint the glue close to the finish color so any pours in the veneer that fill up with glue will not stand out.One comment about glues that are thickened so they wont bleed thru. I believe to some extent you compromise the penetration of the glue by trying to make it not bleed thru. Good penetration will naturally lead to at least some bleed thru on open grain woods. Bleed thru can be minimized by getting a good feel of how much glue to apply.SincerelyDarryl Keil: I just finished the basic video. Thanks daryl, you did a good job. : I'm a cabinet maker, and avid reader, and I still learned more than : the cost of the video. : I'm getting ready to start my first real vac veneering project. This : will be a full sized bed including bookcase style headboard with : doors including a geometric pattern on the doors. 99% of the piece : will be veneered with figured english sycamore. Even the doors will : have fig eng syc on them in different sized polygons arranged with : different grain orientation. There will be a walnut band between 1/8 : and 1/4" wide in various places as an accent. The whole piece will : be dyed with analine dye near a redish maple (trans tint).: Here's thew question: I am concerned about the unibond bleeding : through the veneer causing problems with the veneer taking the dye. : Is this an issue? I got the picture of you scraping and sanding from : the video, but I'm still hesitant to proceed. I've been tempted to : order some of the pva with ground pecan shells to prevent the bleed : through problem. However, this project has some horizontal surfaces : that will be scrutinized and I don't want the joints to creep open. : Thanks for your input, Scott
