I applied a veneer strip much like the first one you showed to an old metal door. Would it be possible to paint it without worrying about bubbling or peeling? Thanks in advance!
I have been using PVA glue with a hot iron to glue my veneer to the substrate. It seems to work well, except I found when I used an acrylic urethane finish, the veneer would bubble. Is the finish reacting with the glue and causing it to lift off the substrate?
As best as can tell. I ironed the veneer down and it laid down very well - very smooth.....until I applied the acrylic urethane. It began coming up within 5 or 10 minutes of the application. On previous projects I used lacquer and it didn't lift the veneer.
Hello , I’m trying to use wood veneer on an electric piano and the boards have rounded edges, I guess they used a router , is there a wood veneer that I can bend around the edges or something that I can use to make it bend , please I need help . Thank you

What kind of backer was on the veneer?

Is it only failing with the acrylic finish?

Our best bet would be your glue line. If you have a scrap, test it with that.
I'm unclear what you mean by the "glue line". Could you elaborate?
By glue line, we mean either too much or too little glue. An uneven or "spongy" glue line can do bad things too veneer.
I want to apply raw wood veneer to plywood is this common??
It is very common. just make sure to use the correct glue. I don't really have any videos on that since we only deal with paper backed veneer.

Our veneer can go around a 1" curve
