Paper backed veneer is very easy to use when you have the right tools and supplies for the job so I put together this package to save you a bit of money. The regular price for each of these items totals more than $66!
This starter kit includes the following items:

Optional Enhanced Scraper Tool
I designed one of these specifically for a friend who has a bit of arthritis in his hands and he absolutely loved it, so it just made sense for me to have additional scrapers made and offer them here on my website. I guess that makes this scraper a VeneerSupplies.com exclusive!
The enhanced scraper is 13.5 inches in length (50% longer than the standard version) and has a large hardwood ball mounted to the top that allows the user to put more pressure near the scraper edge. The scraper is designed for maximum pressure and exceptional ease of use. Click on the thumbnail image to the right to see a full-size picture.
With this version, I estimate the average person can put nearly twice as much pressure on the veneer while scraping compared to the regular version of the tool.

This is an awesome kit for anyone starting out with paperbacked veneer. The core of the kit consists of the scraper, roller, and contact cement. That is a great combination because it all works well together. I purchased the version with the enhanced scraper and it was definitely the right choice. There is one thing I recommend though and that is to make a sample board before you use the kit on a large project. It's all very easy to do but it helps to work with scrap material first to get the hang of the process. Overall I highly recommend the kit and this website in general. It is very helpful and the owners are responsive to questions.

My brother and I are refurbing an old house for a friend and it was too expensive to replace the cabinetry in the bathroom so we opted to use veneer over the existing pieces. We bought paper-backed cherry veneer from Veneer Supplies and this starter kit. The transaction was easy and the product arrived quickly. Every thing is high quality (especially the veneer). The glue worked very well and the tip sheet was very helpful. We will be ordering again soon.

Nice package Joe. I did not need the samples, but for this project it was a cost savings for me to purchase the kit rather than the individual items. Cheers!

This was my first time working with veneer and this product and its instructions worked great. My project was just a few cabinet panels and the veneer kit was just what I needed. I am very pleased with the results.
