Subject : Paperbacked veneer and 3 hole veneer tape

I have some paperbacked veneer that I need to tape together. In the last thread about wide veneer sources it was mentioned that you can use three hole veneer tape on the glue side of the veneer. Can I do this with paperbacked veneer as well? The veneer is so thin I'm afraid of using it on the face side and then having to remove it after glue-up and going through the veneer. Thanks for your help.

Ploh,

Yes, you can use three hole veneer tape on the glue side of paper backed veneer. You may want to stay away from this on table tops because there's a slight chance you may get a hint of an impression from the tape. With a vertical surface you would never notice this. On horizontal surfaces, especially table tops the light can reflect off in a way that picks up any slight variations.

This may not be an issue at all, I just havent used three hole tape on paper backed veneer to know for sure. You could always do a small sample put some finish on it and see if its OK.

Sincerely
Darryl Keil

Thanks for the help. I plan on using this for part of a head and foot board for a bed I'm making so the pieces won't be laying horizontally. I'll make up a sample and see how it looks laying flat for reference. I don't really plan on using paperbacked veneer in the future, but it will be good to know. Thanks again.
