Even with the use of blocker I got seepage on the face of my veneer, did I ruin my piece of veneer? Can I still finish the face?
Thanks, John

As long as you scrape and sand the bleed through thoroughly off the veneer surface you should not have any finishing issues. Wipe with water to be sure before applying your finish.

I dont know what kind of veneer you are pressing, but if you are using the blocker and still getting bleed through you are probably over gluing.

Darryl, The veneer is a walnut burl. It is lovely, however, somewhat brittle and I had to use a lot of white tape to hold it together. It actually came out pretty well but around the burl there is a lot of bleed through. I will sand it with 220 grit and then apply boiled linseed oil to bring out the burl and grain. There are two panels of the same burl. The blocker did a pretty good job on one of the panels but the other has more bleed through than I would like. I don't know if there is anything that I can do to prevent something like that from happening. I run the risk, if I use a smaller amount of glue, of it not holding. What do you do in a case where the burl has splits or gaps in it?
Thanks, John

One of the drawbacks of walnut burl veneer is that it can have a number of voids. it's time consuming, but best option may be to patch in with some of the leftover walnut burl veneer. The process is well demonstrated on one of the Paul Schurch veneering dvd's.

Walnut burl, especially with cracks and fizzures is going to have some bleed through even with the blocker. Veneer tape over the cracks helps to som extent. Be sure to use a cabinet scraper on the bleed through before attempting to sand. Sanding alone does not usually remove the dried glue off the surface very well, especially starting at 220 grit. I do agree that reducing the glue is not a good idea in this situation.
