Subject : Walnut Burl/Unibond 800 Dark Resin
Posted : 2005-11-01 2:31 PM

I know this may seem like a bad question, but with Unibond 800 with dark colored resin, it covers the seams in the veneer perfect. The only problem it is that it seem to darken the walnut burl and the burl loses some of it's swirl. If I use a lighter resin, will this help and what about the seams showing more??

Jeff,

I recommend you stay with the dark catalyst especially with a walnut burl. I have never had the glue darken walnut so I'm not sure whats going on for you. Have you scraped all the bleed through off? If not, once you do this the original color and figure should return.

Sincerely
Darryl Keil

Jeff:

Darryl raises an excellent point. Carry through your planned finishing schedule on a test piece of walnut burl to see how it will look with the dark Unibond.
