Hi Folks, I'm about to attempt my first veneering. The plan is to cut some 4mm BHSassy slices off some 220mm wide boards I have & then sand them down to approx 2.5mm veneers which I intend to then glue onto some plywood. (Probably just 9mm structural ply). I will then use these as the sides to a couple of chest of drawers. I have 3 questions in this regard:
1) Is 2.5 mm ok as veneer. I don't want to go too thin but I do want to avoid the wood movement.
2) Do I really have to veneer both sides of the ply? I would have thought that because it is already ply I may not need to do this.
3) Would epoxy glue be the best to use for this?
Other info: veneered sides will be approx 700x400mm, I'll clamp them between 2 chunks of 50mm thick recycled kitchen cabinet with all the weights & clamps that will fit, the sassy was kiln dried & has acclimatised in my w/shop for 6 months.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Kelvin
