Veneer is a thin slice of real wood, therefore is acts like wood, will stain or paint like wood & will stain up to match other wood products in your project. If you need to cover a large area veneer is easy to seam. Edges are cut straight at factory or cut pieces can be trimmed straight with the use of a straight edge & a sharp utility knife. Veneer can be wrapped around curves & angles with ease. Veneer is intended to be applied to a solid surface, veneer alone without being applied to a rigid surface is not suggested. When applying veneer be sure to clean all surfaces with a quality degreaser cleaner. Do not use mineral spirits to clean surfaces.

Hot Melt Glued Backed items have a dry glue on the back of the product that is activated by heat. This product has superior holding power, can be reheated for removal or reposition & works well on uneven or rough surfaces. A common household iron or heat gun are the tools of choice for applying this product. We suggest that you only apply finishes to this item after it is installed.

P.S.A. / Peel & Stick Backed (P.S.A. -Pressure Sensitive Adhesive) is a peel & stick 3M product with incredible holding power. Simply peel off the wax paper backing to expose a layer of glue. Sheets or strips are easily applied to existing cabinet faces, ends, etc. A utility knife, stiff plastic scraper (putty knife) and a pair of sharp scissors are generally the only tools required for installation of this product. This product does not bond well to unfinished wood & as always surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned to achieve long lasting results. This product can be prefinished prior to installation. Detailed instructions are included with P.S.A. sheets.

Application tips for PSA Veneer Sheets

Paper Backed & Fleece Backed items require the use of contact cement or other bonding agent of your choice. Contact cement is available at most hardware stores & directions for use of these adhesives are on the can. If you use contact cement be sure the product can be applied with roller or brush & don't forget to pick up some disposable brushes or rollers & a disposable tray. Many stores also carry contact adhesive in a convenient spray can, our own tests have shown that 3M Spray 90 works well for most applications. This product can be prefinished prior to installation. Thickness of paper backed and fleece backed items is 10 mils. (approx thickness of 2 business cards)

Wood On Wood (a.k.a W.O.W.) Wood on wood laminate is composed of two wood veneer faces permanently bonded with the grain of the face running perpendicular to the grain on the back. The result is a dimensionally stable product which minimizes the wood veneer's natural tendency to expand and contract across the grain. There is no bubbling with the W.O.W. There is no cracking or checking and no lines from the phenolic or foil backer like before.    **** Application Tips ****
