Very good video Jon. Just a tip - I've been using an aerosol contact cement sold at home centers and laminate dealers. 3M, Weld wood, and Wilsonart are the brands I've used. It's a little more expensive, but there's less cleanup (no rollers or trays). They sell 2 types - an orderless low VOC version, and the traditional one. Always use 2 good coats .

This is super helpful. I am going to make a record storage cabinet, and making miter joints seemed too daunting on such a large piece, so I was resigned to doing butt joints. But with how you veneered this, as if by magic, those butt joints became refined miter joints! I had been veneering the plywood before cutting it to size on other pieces, but I am definitely trying this method this time.

Thanks! Yes, I would veneer the parts first… I have a project from almost 10 years ago on KZfaq, where I built end tables with ash and zebrawood using that process.

@musicbymark 6 ай бұрын

I've always enjoyed working with contact cement with plastic laminate, haven't used it much with wood veneer, because all the books I've read or videos discourage its use and recommend using special veneer glue or resin glues. Great that you haven't had any problems in 25 years, what are your thoughts on those other authors being so against use of contact cement?

@TWC6724 6 ай бұрын

I’d like to know Jon’s opinion as well. I’d like to get into veneering and this method seems better to me than having to have a press or vacuum bag.

@JonPetersArtHome 6 ай бұрын

Thanks! I’ve never had any issues… I have a few pieces that I’ve built here on KZfaq some almost 10 years old. I think a good idea for a video will be too examine one of the pieces and see how they’re doing… I’m looking at one right now and absolutely no problems.

What’s the advantage of walnut veneer versus using walnut plywood? Is it more choice, cost? Seems veneer online is pricey versus what I can get a walnut 4x8 sheet for.

@X02switchblades 4 ай бұрын

Thank you for your guidance! I have been restorating an old sewing machine and the little wooden drawer it came with is rectangular but its edges are rounded! I decided to veneer it because of the extensive damage in the old veneer. Should I use one piece or two to do the job? I believe the original had two sheets meeting in the middle of the sides. Thank you for reading! PS: This is my first try in veneering!

@JonPetersArtHome 4 ай бұрын

I’m not sure how many pieces you should use… but if you take your time, you should have no problem… I suggest veneering something small, even just a small piece of plywood to get warmed up.

contact cement vs peel and stick, which one is better for rough mdf surface? Thank you!

@JonPetersArtHome Ай бұрын

@darbo7 6 ай бұрын

How thick is the paper backing you select when ordering your veneer for contact cement installation: 10, 20, or 30 mil? Also, I wish that you would address the issue of why you don’t veneer both sides of your plywood. I’m always seeing woodworkers claim that you have to veneer both sides (even with contact cement) or else the plywood will eventually warp due to the imbalance, but that doesn’t seem to be a problem for you. I’m always appreciative of your veneering instructional videos…thank you!

10 mil, I haven’t had a problem, bearing one side of plywood… I think that might be more of an issue when you’re working with MDF

@johnsrabe 6 ай бұрын

Two questions, Jon: Number one, why not make the face frame proud of the top of the cabinet (a tiny bit more than the thickness of the veneer), so the veneer edge butts against it, and there is no visible seam? Then you could use a flush cut bit on the veneer and frame. Two, could you also take out the sticks one or two at a time, so you don’t have to hold up all of the veneer at once? I have not veneered yet, but I would like to, and your videos make it very clear.

@JonPetersArtHome 6 ай бұрын

I’m not sure about the first question, the second question you can remove the sticks in whatever way works best at the moment

@johnsrabe 6 ай бұрын

@@JonPetersArtHome I guess a clearer way to put question number one is: the way you do it, don’t you see a tiny seam at the top, when you’re looking at the cabinet from the front? Or is the veneer so thin, it doesn’t show.

Great video explanation Jon. Thanks for sharing the tips. I have an upcoming project that I will probably utilize this technique (a vinyl record player credenza for my home). Good to see that you can get awesome results with just the contact cement and piece of plywood, and don't need an expensive vacuum bag/pump combo to veneer. Do you recommend any specific online dealer for the veneer supplies?
