Subject : Veneer on hardboard
Posted : 2003-11-06 9:16 AM

I am thinking about applying some non-paper backed veneer to 1/4" hardboard. I will be using veneer glue from Constantines and plan to use a laquer finish. Can anybody tell me of potential problems? Different methods?
The panels will be 6" x 15" and used for frame and panel sides on a dresser.

Thanks
Dave

Dave,

People refer to hardboard as different things but if you are referring to what I call masonite, dont do it. Untempered masonite will allow its fibers to be come out with the veneer if you pull on it. Tempered masonite does not provide good adhesion.

Sincerely
Darryl Keil

1/4" mdf would be a good choice (veneer both sides though).
