A common problem experienced when veneering is veneer adhesive and glue bleeding through the veneer. Unfortunately, this sometimes only shows up once the final coating is applied to the wood and then the whole piece of work is wasted and has to be discarded. A lot of wasted time and cost.
This problem occurs for a number of reasons.
There are a number of solutions to this problem, either by changing the product you use, using colour additives, or through some application techniques. Read on for further information.
A variety of adhesives can be successfully used for veneering, including PVA adhesives and One Shot (e.g. Cascamite) adhesives, but they don’t give you the flexibility of being able to thicken up the liquid and stop the bleed through happening.
The best adhesive system to use is one which is high viscosity enough (thick) to stop soaking through the veneer. A UF (urea formaldehyde) resin with a powder hardener is ideal for this application. There are two types of UF systems available;
Another simple way of reducing the visibility of the glue line is to colour the adhesive. Many inert colours and dyes could be used, but you have to be careful that they are compatible with the adhesive. The dyes are added to the UF resin mix as per your requirements.
Woodstikk Colour Additive has been formulated for this purpose and has been tested for full compatibility.
