Subject : Pressing 1 side at a time
Posted : 2005-11-07 3:53 AM

Hi Darryl and everyone,

Just an interesting question - Do you press both sides at once or one at a time?
I used to press both at once, but more recently have changed to pressing one side first, then once dry presing the second side straight away. I have found with this method I always have perfect pressings, whereas when I pressed both sides at once I sometimes had some very slight failures in small areas with difficult veneer.
Could it be that by pressing one side at a time the pressure is greater on that gluing face???

Anton,

In general I press both sides at the same time but every so often I press one side at a time with good results. As long as you go right back in the press to veneer the other side like you do you're fine.

Why you have occasional failure when pressing both sides at the same time I cant say. Its definitely not a pressure thing. I will say that pressing one side at a time means the veneer on one side isn't sitting in glue while the opposite side is being rolled, like in two sided pressing.

If you get better results pressing one side at a time than I would stick to it.

Sincerely
Darryl Keil
