Tip - Hot glue veneering in a nutshell
The glue - Improvise a glue pot using an old saucepan and clean jam jar. Put 25mm of pearl glue into the jar, bring up to the 50mm level with cold water and allow to stand for at least 2 hours. Half fill the saucepan with cold water, place the jar of glue in the middle, and bring to a gentle simmer. The glue will be ready to use.
Laying the veneer – First brush a layer of glue onto the groundwork, then lay the veneer on to the groundwork allowing it to overlap the edges in case of shrinkage. Use a warm iron over the surface of the veneer to re-melt the glue. Dampen the veneer with a water spray if the heat causes it to curl. Using the veneer hammer, work the blade from the centre to the edges to squeeze out the excess glue. As it cools the veneer becomes held down by the tack of the glue.
Joining veneer in the width – Lay the veneers as described above, overlapping the edges by a small amount. Using a straight edge and knife cut through both veneers with a careful succession of light cuts and remove the waste. Apply a little fresh glue, hammer down and tape over the join with veneer tape.
