Subject : Veneering large lacewood panels
Posted : 2008-11-07 11:53 AM

I need to make four panels, each four feet by six feet. They will be veneered with lacewood, with the grain running diagonaly. I have been using titebond for veneering, but i'm afraid of the veneer buckeling from the moisture. Does Unibond prevent this?

Gordon,

The Unibond allows for more time to apply glue and get it in the bag. Also, it has the advantage of a rigid glue surface. Your seams are less likely to open up later down the road. Another plus is the ability to tint or dye the glue to match the veneer. Not so much a benefit with Lacewood, but with burls and dyed veneers it can make a difference.

Don't think it would be right to say that Unibond prevents buckling, but I haven't experienced veneer buckling from coming into contact with a substrate coated with Unibond.

Just in terms of the size of your panels, I'd think PVA would start to skin over before full vacuum could be realized. If you will have taped seams, on a piece this size, I'd suggest not using PVA.
