Question 1

What kind of surface prep is required?  Could you go over old veneer, or should it be removed first?

Accepted Answer

It would be better to remove old unless, old veneer is intact and capable of applying a new layer. 90% of time it's better to remove foir better adhesion. Just my 2 cents.    20+ years in custom cabinets and furniture building.    Good luck.

Question 2

I am using brazilian cherry risers and need something thinner for one riser.  Will this "cherry " match?

Accepted Answer

The cherry veneer is very thin (0.032 inch including the removable backing). The veneer is also pretty light in color, so I would think you can stain it to match your other risers. I got both the narrow and the wide veneer and the narrow one was darker than the wide one. I was able to stain to match. Good luck.

Question 3

anyone know how well this material would hold up if applied to a '95 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon sides, then stained and sealed with epoxy..?

Accepted Answer

Not well ar all. Epoxy, west system or any other two part epoxy is photo reactive- uv light breaks it down, quickly. I've had GREAT results with Bristol Finish ( I'm a boat builder). It is a two part product, resin and catylist bur amazingly UV resistant!
    Your biggest challenge will be getting the veneer to stay "stuck" to the metal. Summer Heat and winter cold will effect the expansion of wood and metal differently thereby causing many potential adhesion problems. That's why the old woodies used 1/2" material screwed or riveted from the back side through the metal. But Bristol Finish is the best marine grade clear coat on the planet.

Question 4

16 November review said "they just changed to a much lower tack adhesive."   That true?

Accepted Answer

I recieved a very strong adhesive, by 3m
