Dear Larry,First, I suggest you just swap out the smaller bag and get a 4x8 one. You can always roll up the extra amount of bag you arent using and you never know when the 8' may come in handy. Keeping the veneer in register is really not that hard. I always place a 1/8" or 1/4" cover sheet over the veneer and masking tape it to the panel, this will take care of any shifting. Things really dont shift around much anyway. Besides, once things are in the bag you can adjust right through it since you can see. In general I make the veneer and cover sheet overhang no more than 1/8" so the bag cannot bend or break anything. I do not recommend letting the veneer hang over so much that the bag can break it. It wont be a clean break. Our "Working with Veneer" video is a basic "how to" video for beginners wanting to learn the techniques of veneering.SincerelyDarryl Keil: I want to build several cabinets using shop cut veneers on a plywood : base. The largest piece will be one of the tops that will measure : 18x75" Other than redesigning to bring it down to the 72" max in the : entry system, is there an affordable way to get the additional 3"?: My intent was to apply 3/4 edge banding first using material cut from : the same plank as the veneers, triming to the same thickness, and : veneering the panel. I'm having trouble understanding how to keep the : pieces in register to avoid overhangs that will fail under pressure : from the bag. As I am going to trim and mold the edges anyway, can I : use an oversize veneer and just let it break off or does this endanger : the bag? : How do I get a panel that large into the bag without shifting : everything around?: Does the video answer these types of questions such that it's a good : investment for a hobbiest, or is it a marketing tool aimed at a more : knowledgable user?: My sincere thanks for any suggestions you can make.: Very Respectfully,: Larry Root
