Product Description


pg-2-ply-images.jpgOur 2-ply veneer has a wood-on-wood construction utilizing a thin acrylic membrane that provides the ultimate protection against bubbling, glue seepage, and telegraphing. Two-ply veneer is one of the most cost-effective wood coverings for project surfaces that are less than perfect or where the ultimate in stability is required.

For safe and affordable shipping, our 2-ply veneers are rolled up and shipped in a standard corrugated box direct to you from the manufacturer.

Staining & Finishing
Since this veneer is a real wood product, it can be stained/dyed easily and requires no special top-coats or finishes. Aniline dyes, oil and water based stains, Transtints, polyurethane, lacquer, conversion varnish, shellac, and tung oil are all compatible with our 2-ply veneers.

Adhesive & Tool Suggestions

  • We highly recommend Titan DX™ which will bond this veneer to plywood, MDF, and particle board.
  • These veneers can also be adhered in a vacuum press with Better Bond™ X-Press veneer glue.
  • Better Bond Heat Lock™ and Flex-Pro™ work quite well if a vacuum press is not available.
  • A scraper tool must be used to apply backed veneers with contact cement or Flex-Pro.
  • Trimming a veneered panel is most commonly accomplished with a flush-trimming router bit. You can also trim the veneered panel on a table saw with an 80-tooth saw blade.

Grade:
 When comparing our paper-backed veneers to others, make sure you are being quoted for "Grade A or better" veneers. Several online dealers are offering lesser quality veneers at comparable pricing.

Sample Books:
Our sample book contains 49 backed veneers (8" x 10" each) in a convenient and affordable binder.
Backer Direction: Cross Grain - The backer veneer (okoume) is applied perpendicular to the face veneer. This option allows maximum rigidity and stability without risk of tearing. With this type, the glue line between the plies is more noticeable.
Parallel Grain - The backer veneer (okoume) is applied with the grain in the same direction as the face veneer. With this option, the veneer is more flexible along its length and can be more easily formed around curved projects.
Matching Option:

Select this option if you are ordering at least two sheets of this exact veneer and want each sheet to reasonably match the other in terms of color and grain. A matched "set" is generally limited to two sheets. There will be multiple sets for orders of more than 2 sheets.

A true sequence match option may also be available for this veneer. Please contact us for details.

    Review by Dave Cambest
    Rating:

    I have used two sheets to make new kitchen cabinets and it lays easily and looks fantastic when finished with minimal sanding. I was surprised by how tough it is. When laying on a large surface it slipped and the contact cement took hold in a fairly large area but I was able to pull up with the help of a knife cutting the glue with no damage and relay it perfectly. When purchasing the second sheet I could not remember that I bought the first from Veneer Supplies and purchased a sheet from another source for around the same price which turned out to be VERY thin paper backed which was distorted, that went right back and I then rediscovered Veneer Supplies.
