Neal Posted January 17, 2021 Report Posted January 17, 2021 Hey anyone out here? I'm a newbie to Western NC and recently got on this site. So let me throw out a question. I was told not to use contact cement when adhering Wood type veneer. Instead use an adhesive specifically for this type of vennering. Any comments? Oh, maybe some help in finding places to buy decent hardwoods. Neal in Morganton, NC Quote
Mark J Posted January 17, 2021 Report Posted January 17, 2021 Welcome to the forum @Neal. There are a few members in NC, but why not post your veneer question in the General section. It will get more eyes. Quote

Chestnut Posted January 17, 2021 Report Posted January 17, 2021 Depends on the size of your project. I've used regular old wood glue for small veneering projects many times. With larger projects that are going into a vacuum bag or are complicated to get together and more time is needed there are specific veneering glues. Usually sold under cold press veneer glue names. There are many brands. I've also used epoxy in some situations when I needed more time but didn't want to buy specific glue for a 1 off project. Quote
JohnG Posted January 17, 2021 Report Posted January 17, 2021 Welcome Neal! I’m a couple hours East of you. I’ve only done hammer veneering, and used hide glue for that. I do understand that contact cement is NOT recommended. Quote
wtnhighlander Posted January 18, 2021 Report Posted January 18, 2021 Welcome, Neal! No help on the veneer question, but you are one of only 3 people I know that spell their name that way. The others are my dad, and my son (middle names). I'm a Tennesse boy by birth, but lived in Forest City, NC for a spell, 3 decades ago. How are things over on the steep side? Quote
