I am making a desk, and used a hollow core door for the top. I applied a PSA veneer to the top, shellaced it, and (once dry) stored it in an interior space until I got the rest of the desk done. I got side-tracked and came back a month later and the veneer had buckled severely along the lines where the strip panels of wood making up the veneer (i.e., not joints I made in the veneer). I’m getting ready to remedy the issue and need advice since I don’t know what caused the buckling. I have the following questions re: what I should do after removing sheet of veneer that had some buckling: 1. Should I use PSA venner or not? If I use non-PSA veneer, is contact cement my best glue option? (I don’t have a vacuum press.) 2. Should I use a non-alcohol sealer on the veneer, or is shellac ok (i.e., not the cause of the buckling)? I only want to do this one more time, so others’ experience would be much appreciated. -- Wade V Campbell |
