[QUOTE="JimGore, post: 59284, member: 3"] Great job JQ! You are working that veneer like a real pro ;D Watch out for the finish you use. Solvents like thinners, turps, etc will attack the contact adhesive if it is allowed to saturate through the wood. Not a difficult task seeing the veneer is only .6mm thick. The real issue will most probably be the edges - the solvents will definitely get in there. If you can spray paint using 2K clearcoat that would be the best. It dries very quickly, as opposed to other methods which take hours or days to dry. The point is to get the solvent to flash off as quickly as possible. Alternative 2 would be to go for shellac. It is mixed up with alcohol which has a seriosly quick flash off time. Apply a couple of very thin coats with a brush. This is the stuff they used to use before varnish, etc was invented. Ever heard of "French Polishing"? They use shellac for that. Regards, Ian. [/QUOTE]
