Dear Ben,Yes, you can veneer both sides at the same time in a vacuum press, in fact I recommend itbe done that way when ever possible. I find the panel stays the flatest that way. If you veneer one side at a time be sure to go directly back in to veneer the back side after finishthe front side. Waiting between pressings usually warps the panel.SincerelyDarryl Keil: Thank you for your reply. : Can I veneer both sides at the same time in a vacuum press nad would you advise this practice?: Thanks,: Ben: : Dear Ben,: : Yes it is true, you should absolutely but a veneer on the backside to balance the panel, : : especially on such thin plywood. As the glue dries the veneer and glue shrink, pulling on that: : side of the panel, if you dont have the same effect on the other side the panel will warp. The: : thicker the panel the less the warping because they are stiffer, but it will still happen.: : Sincerely: : Darryl Keil: : : : : I am veneering quartersawn white oak on 1/4 plywood. I ws told that I : : : should apply a veneer to the backside of the plywood to "balance" the : : : plywood. Apparently the plywood would cup or bend if this was not : : : done. Is this true? Any insight is appreciated.: : : Ben
