    Thanks, glad it helped. The first coat should be “almost dry” . I have never used the FSV adhesive, so I can comment on how it would go. The Osmo oil is a simple and easy to use product. I love it.

    Thank you! About to cherry or teak veneer a door so nice to see this. Encouraged but also having a healthy skepticism, I spoke with Titebond to make sure the glue would hold up after being partially dried and then heated. They said that absolutely it would hold up. Their only suggestion was to let the glue completely dry before joining the veneer to the substrate and then iron it. They said that the heat melts the glue which allows it to reform as a single layer. However, I'd be concerned about the completely dry glue becoming stiff, rendering the veneer more difficult to work with. Sticking with partially dry. Thank you again. Very nice video.

    Do you think you can add a pinned comment about various considerations and cautions regarding this method? I’ve been skimming through comments and a lot of people are asking the same questions so it might be helpful for anyone in the future.
    You can include things like the iron’s heat setting, veneer backing and thickness, and the glue type. Additionally, if you’ve noticed any other drawbacks, considerations, or cautionary notes, that would be nice to add.
    Lastly, thanks! This video has been really helpful, especially seeing you use this technique on such a large piece.

    Another similar method is to two coats of glue on the substrate, the first coat at 50/50 water and glue, let dry, then another coat at full strength and let dry completely. You can set it aside for whenever you are ready, cut it to shape, put the veneer on and iron. It's pretty full proof.

      So no glue on the veneer?
      Also If the subtrate is mdf wouldn't the 50 water cause the mdf to swell?
      I want a proven method that avoids applying glue to the veneer because I heard it wrinkles and curls the veneer.

    Just the kind of informative video I love - thank you for sharing! We are getting ready to try this method on 2 inset panels in an exterior door with African Mahogany veneer. I'm wondering how much titebond we'll need for an area approximately 2' x 8'. Think we could cut the veneer to size before applying or is it better to trim after ironing down? Any suggestions what sealer would work best in a hot, coastal environment? Our door takes a beating - all day sun exposure with hot, humid, salty air.

    • @bestwoodworking6062
      @bestwoodworking6062  2 месяца назад

      Thanks for the kind words, regarding the trimming, I would leave it close then trim. Reading how much glue, two even coats on each face. As of late, I’ve been using a roller with a little mine nap, like a 10mm. The salty air and the like, I would use something like an Osmo oil for both sealer and topcoat, because they are an oil wax combo. Otis is a good brand. Also is the type of finish that you wipe on, let’s sit for a little while and then you wipe off the access. Hopefully you’re familiar with that.

    Fantastic video. Couple of questions if you have the time.
    1. How dry is the glue between applications on both surfaces? Are they put on one right after the other?
    2. How dry does the glue have to be before assembling the pieces with the iron? Is there such a thing as being too dry?
    3. Is there an optimal temp setting for the iron? Should it be a iron with a Teflon surface?
    4. Can this procedure be done over existing veneers? Also, If the surface or edges have been repaired with a product like 3M wood repair (i.e bondo) or other wood filler, will this method still work?

      Absolutely. Just take care to ensure that the veneer you’re using is sound.

      Ok, for the most success possible, I would suggest you focus on the woods that have a closed grain structure, also known as less porous look to them. The reason for this is because the glue is less likely to soak through the veneer and onto the face. Oak (both white and red) allow the glue to come through face, which will effect the finish, regardless of the adhesive we use. maple, however non-diffuse, porous wood, a.k.a. Tight grain, or dense, is much less likely to allow the glue to telegraph in the face. Does that make sense? The paperback provides a barrier for the adhesive..

    I have a suggestion for improved video editing. Your deleted all the parts you thought were repetitive, redundant or boring. Instead of deleting them, speed up and mute the boring parts. Suppose that you have 15 long minutes of raw footage of step one of veneering the door, and you have 15 long minutes of raw unedited step 2, etc. In this video you split step one into two segments: (A) the first 10 seconds of applying glue and (B) the remaining 14 minutes of applying glue. Then you deleted the entire second boring half of glue being applied. It was like.watching one paint stroke, and then BAM! Whole thing done. Instead of deleting everything, mute the audio ofthe long stretches and time-lapse (speed up) too. That is, the first 10 second of step [x] should be shown at normal speed. The last 14 minutes of step one should be sped up to 10 times normal speed and have the audio track deleted. I saw you painting on the first stripe glue at normal speed. I then want to see all of the glue being rolled on at 10 times normal speed with audio for the time lapsed part deleted. Dont delete all of that video; instead time lapse it. Don't time-lapse the whole process. If you were to put up a picket fence, have the first picket done at normal speed.and with audio. only time lapse pickets 2, 3, 4, through picket number 28. Turning real time video into time lapse is easy. I downloaded a free program off the internet to do it more than 10 years ago. First split the video track in half, then timelapse (speed up) the second half of the video segment.
